Dr Fayyad has made an outstanding contribution to Palestinian state-building, as Finance Minister then as Prime Minister. He has been a close partner to successive British Governments.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-top:9px;font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial, san-serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">&#8220;Thanks to his dedication and energy, the Palestinian Authority has taken great strides forward in building the institutions necessary for a Palestinian state. Palestinian institutions are now stronger and more transparent. Despite serious economic constraints, the World Bank, IMF and ±¬ÁÏÍø last year all said that the Palestinian Authority has the capacity to be a functioning state in important sectors.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-top:9px;font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial, san-serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">&#8220;This development is a reminder of the urgency of returning to negotiations on a two-state solution. We need to see a clear path leading to a viable, independent Palestinian state, based on 1967 borders with agreed land swaps, living in peace and security with Israel. And the vital work of Palestinian state-building must go on. 2013 is a crucial year for Middle East peace. We will continue to work with President Abbas, Prime Minister Netanyahu and with our US and EU partners, to urge the necessary progress.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;padding-top:8px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial, san-serif;\"><i>doclink:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/i><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/foreign-secretary-regrets-departure-of-palestinian-prime-minister\" style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-top:8px;font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial, san-serif;\"><i>https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/foreign-secretary-regrets-departure-of-palestinian-prime-minister<\/i><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Foreign Secretary regrets departure of Palestinian Prime Minister Foreign Secretary praises the contribution of Dr Salam Fayyad and urges a return to negotiations on a two-state solution.
