Palestinian groups hold 'positive talks' in Beijing

China on Tuesday said positive progress has been made during the recent talks between the two main Palestinian groups, Fatah and Hamas, in Beijing, and that they had jointly agreed to continue the process to achieve the solidarity and unity of Palestine at an early time.

Representatives of the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) recently came to Beijing for in-depth and candid talks on promoting Palestinian internal reconciliation, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian confirmed at a daily news briefing.

Lin said two sides fully expressed their political will to achieve reconciliation through dialogue and consultation and discussed many specific issues.
