Portugal will formally recognise a Palestinian state on Sunday, the Foreign Ministry announced on Friday. The declaration will come ahead of next week’s High-Level Conference.
Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel had indicated earlier this week, during a visit to the UK, that Portugal was considering recognition.

Only a handful of the 27 EU states currently recognise Palestine.
