The UN Security Council will hold, this Wednesday in New York, its semi-annual closed-door consultations meeting on the Moroccan Sahara issue, with the participation of the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary General for the Sahara, Staffan de Mistura, and the Special Representative for the Sahara and head of MINURSO, Alexander Ivanko.

Algeria is "a serial violator" of human rights and international humanitarian law, said Omar Kadiri, Morocco's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, before the UN Security Council, in response to the Algerian delegation's lies and fallacious allegations about alleged violations of human rights in the Moroccan Sahara.

It is in piety and meditation that the Moroccan people commemorate this Tuesday, Ramadan 10, the 63rd anniversary of the death of His Majesty King Mohammed V, Father of the Nation, craftsman of independence and symbol of the struggle of peoples for freedom and emancipation.

His Majesty King Mohammed VI received yesterday, Thursday, the President of the Spanish Government Pedro Sanchez at the Royal Palace in Rabat.

The Spanish government's position on the Moroccan Sahara, recognizing the pre-eminence of the autonomy plan as "the most serious, realistic and credible basis" for resolving this artificial dispute, has been welcomed by prominent Spanish personalities, politicians and high-level diplomats.
