While Yokohama is expected to host the 7th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) Summit from August 28-30, Japan reiterated its position regarding the presence of the «SADR». The meeting will, in fact, be attended by the Polisario front’s representatives.
The Japanese ambassador to Rabat announced that his country is not interested in inviting «SADR» to its upcoming Tokyo International Conference of Africa’s Development, expected to take place in Yokohama. Japan couldn’t honor a similar promise last year.
A Polisario delegation attended on June 10th and 11th, preparations for the Summit on the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 7). The presence of the Front was previously denounced by Morocco during two former meetings.
Morocco has left the Tokyo International Conference on African Development, hosted in Japan, because of the Polisario. The Moroccan delegation was angered by the presence of the representative of the Front.
