We all want to recognise Palestine, says Danish minister 

Recognising the state of Palestine is a question of timing, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen has said, according to Reuters. 

The news agency quoted Rasmussen as saying: "We all want to recognise Palestine, so it is a question of timing."

Finland's Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen has made similar comments, stating that her country is waiting for the right moment to recognise the state of Palestine. 

Finnish President Alexander Stubb announced earlier this month that the country was willing to recognise Palestine. 

Countries including the UK, France, Canada and Malta have said they will recognise Palestine in the upcoming session of the United Nations General Assembly.
