RAMALLAH, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- A senior Palestinian official said on Wednesday that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will hold talks with his French counterpart Francois Hollande in Paris next week.
"The two presidents, Abbas and Hollande, are to discuss the outcomes of Paris peace conference that was held in Paris last month besides the political developments in the Palestinian territories and in the region," Saeb Erekat, the secretary general of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), told official Voice of Palestine radio.
There are no arrangements for a three-way meeting including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he added.
On Jan. 15, a peace conference on the Middle East conflict was held in Paris, where leaders of 70 countries and representatives of five international agencies and organizations attended.
The conference called for resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that began in 1967 and stressed the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state and live side by side in peace and security with the state of Israel.
