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.
Almost a week after the massive arrival of Moroccan nationals in Ceuta (Sebta), the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, recalled that it is up to Spain to find the way out of a crisis of confidence between the two countries.
