In Niamey (Niger), Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita reassured Moroccans about the Kingdom’s new membership of the African Free Trade Agreement Area, joined by the Polisario Front. Joining AfCFTA should not be interpreted as an acknowledgement of an entity that threatens the Kingdom’s territorial integrity, Bourita said.
Learning from past mistakes, Moroccan Foreign Minister flew, this week, to Panama and Ecuador, which withdrew recognition of «SADR». Nasser Bourita’s trip to Latin America has been an opportunity for the Kingdom to strengthen ties with its allies, including Chile and Brazil.
On Tuesday, the UN Security Council adopted resolution 2468, extending the mandate of MINURSO by six months. Reacting to this decision, Morocco commended, through its Foreign Minister, the new resolution while the Polisario Front expressed its disappointment.
