Spain has renewed its support for the political process led exclusively by the United Nations to reach a settlement of the Sahara issue, in the framework of Security Council resolutions. This position has been reiterated by Spanish Foreign Minister, Josep Borrell, Thursday in Rabat, at a joint press conference with his Moroccan peer Nasser Bourita. Spain’s “position on the Sahara issue is accurate and unwavering,” Josep Borrell insisted, adding that it is a “state position that has not changed”. During the joint press conference, Nasser Bourita said King Mohammed VI considers Spain as a natural strategic partner of Morocco. He added that the rich, in-depth and fruitful talks King Mohammed VI held with his Spanish guest shall give a new qualitative impetus to bilateral relations.
