“As for the Moroccan autonomy plan, our position is favorable to Morocco. We have demonstrated it at the United Nations, even when we were a bit alone in wanting to advance some ideas,” said the head of French diplomacy, during a joint press conference with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, after their meeting.
“France’s position is clear and constant,” she said, recalling that his country supports the ceasefire and the efforts of UN Secretary General Staffan de Mistura’s personal envoy.
“We wish for the resumption of negotiations between the parties for a just and realistic solution,” he added, stressing the constancy of France’s position, in particular that concerning “the renewal of Minurso’s mandate, which was appreciated by Morocco.”
“We are not going to change and Morocco knows that it can count on the support of France”, she affirmed.
