Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas
Palestinian official media said Abbas thanked Abe for this country's support for the Palestinian people, while the Japanese premier reasserted his country's support for the creation of an independent Palestinian state within the framework of the two-state solution.
He stressed the continued support of Japan for projects that contribute toward the building of Palestinian state institutions and infrastructure.
The two leaders' meeting came after the United States' controversial recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, a move that has raised concerns about the fate of peace talks.
Secretary of the PLO's Executive Committee Saeb Erekat reiterated yesterday that Palestinian is not for sale and the Palestinians' rights will not be subjected to "suspicious" financial or political deals which are not based on worldwide laws, Ma'an news reported.
He also pointed out that the role played by the USA will be crucial in bringing peace to the region and called on Abbas to sit down at the negotiating table if Washington offers any proposals.

Abe said that his country was not planning to transfer its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
"Your ongoing aid to the Syrian refugees and the Jordanian host communities has been really vital to our country's resilience and development", the king told Abe.
At a press conference on Tuesday, the Japanese prime minister announced a donation of about 15 million US dollars to Jordan, Lebanon and Syria to help alleviate the impact of the Syrian crisis. He said the Japan-led Corridor for Peace and Prosperity is aimed at supporting Palestine's economic independence.
Abe arrived in Ramallah following his visit to Jordan as part of wider visit to the Middle East to enhance Tokyo's energy and security ties.
