The Moroccan delegation heads to Geneva this Wednesday to participate in a second roundtable on the Sahara, organized by the UN Secretary General’s Personal Envoy Horst Köhler, March 21-22. Besides the Moroccan delegation, led by Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, delegations from Algeria, the Polisario, and Mauritania, will take part in the meeting. This second roundtable is held in accordance with the provisions of the latest Security Council resolution (2440), adopted on October 31, 2018. The Moroccan delegation to the Geneva II roundtable will include the same members that took part in Geneva I last December. The Algerian delegation to Geneva II will be led by newly appointed Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamamra, well known for his hostility towards Morocco.
