<p>China said it is ready  to renew its recognition of a Palestinian state amid growing moves by  Latin America states, a report said.</p>
<p>Recently Bolivia has recognized Palestine as an independent state, following the lead of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.</p>
<p>Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Zhia Jun told Asharq Al-Awsat in a  statement, &#8220;China is prepared to renew its recognition of a Palestinian  state if the UN Security Council or the United Nations pass such a  resolution.&#8221;</p>
<p>He reminded that China was &#8220;one of the first countries that recognized the PLO in the 1960s&#8221;.</p>
<p>Jun expressed Beijing&#8217;s readiness &#8220;to expand and enhance economic and cultural cooperation with the Islamic countries.&#8221;</p>
<p>The statement in response to the newspaper followed a visit by the  Chinese deputy Foreign Minster to the OIC headquarters, the first visit  by a high-ranking Chinese government official to the OIC headquarters in  Saudi Arabia.</p>
<p>After the announcements from the South American  countries, Palestinian negotiators urged European countries, for the  first time, to also recognize a Palestinian state in the occupied West  Bank and Gaza Strip.</p>
