The Economic Community of West African States summit (ECOWAS), expected to be held in Liberia, will be attended by several African leaders and senior officials along with the Israeli Prime Minister. Benjamin Netanyahu hopes to meet King Mohammed VI and reinforce the African-Israeli diplomatic ties.
On Friday, King Mohammed VI flew to Cuba in an unofficial trip accompanied by Lalla Salma, Moulay El Hassan and Lalla Khadija. The royal family will spend a vacation in the republic which has declared several times its backup for the Polisario front. La Havana-based media reported that Cuban authorities rushed to reassure the Front about the King’s visit stressing on the fact that it would not affect their relations.
King Mohammed VI continues to remain absent from the Arab League summit. He did not attend the summit scheduled today in the capital of Jordan. Yet, Salaheddine Mezouar Minister of Foreign affairs and Cooperation participated in the regional organization's event to represent the Kingdom among the 21 countries.
