The new United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) President said that he has received no request to date from the Palestinian representation at the UN, indicating whether or not they plan to seek statehood status in the world organization.

"To be frank with you I still didn't receive any request about this issue," Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser of Qatar said at a press conference after the opening of the 66th General Assembly session.

As he noted, leaders from the Arab League as well as Catherine Ashton, the EU's high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, have been meeting in Cairo to discuss Palestine's next move, UNDPI website reported.
