All parties have agreed to take part in an intra-Palestinian meeting set to be held in Moscow from February 29 to March 1-2, said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, who serves as Russian special presidential envoy for the Middle East and Africa.

When asked at what stage preparations for the meeting were in, he said: "In the final stages, everything’s ready."

Bogdanov confirmed that all parties had agreed to participate. "Of course, they have agreed," he noted, adding: "Some want to send two representatives or even more, that is more than we invited. So there are more than enough of those willing [to take part in the event]."

The deputy foreign minister said earlier that Russia had invited representatives of all Palestinian forces.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced in an address to the 13th Middle East Conference of the Valdai Discussion Club that Moscow planned to soon host another intra-Palestinian meeting on resolving the Middle East conflict with the support of Arab nations.
