Shafaqna English- The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) welcomed Canada’s decision on Wednesday (30 July 2025) to recognize Palestine as a state in September, calling it a historic move and a small step in the right direction.
“This is a historic day for Canada. We are glad to see our country join the global majority towards the announcement of an upcoming formal recognition of Palestinian sovereignty in September,” NCCM’s Head Stephen Brown said at a news conference in Ottawa.
“We will never stop recognizing the right of Palestinian people to exist and their right to a sovereign state where they can govern themselves, set their future and their inalienable right to self-determination,” he said.
Stressing that “there can be no delays towards recognizing this inalienable right,” Brown said that such an inalienable right “will never be subject to condition.” “This decision is more than symbolic,” he added.
