Talks between senior Russian diplomats and the Moroccan and Algerian ambassadors in Moscow have intensified this week. The Sahara issue, as in March, remained central to the discussions.
Ahead of his meeting with his Moroccan counterpart in Paris, Stéphane Séjourné emphasized that France economically recognizes Morocco’s sovereignty over Sahara on economy matters. This recognition should encourage other countries, such as Germany, to follow Paris' lead. The head of diplomacy left the diplomatic side of the full recognition to King Mohammed VI and President Emmanuel Macron.
