Describing India's democracy as a 'role model' for Palestinian people, President of Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas has said the country can play an important role in the Middle East peace process.
"India, the second largest populated nation in the world and the biggest democracy with a booming economy, including hi-tech, could play an important role in the Middle East peace process," Abbas told PTI in an interview a day before leaving for New Delhi.
"It maintains special relations with all the countries in our region, including the state of Israel, and can do a lot to push forward the peace process," the Palestinian leader said.
Urging India to actively engage in the process, he said the 'security and stability of our region directly affects the stability of their region'.
