During two separate meetings with Moroccan Premier, Abbas El Fassi in Qatar, on the sidelines of the Doha International Conference on Financing for Development, the two countries' presidents hailed Morocco's Sahara initiative to grant substantial autonomy to its southern provinces.

The Arab Journalists Union (AJU) expressed, here Thursday, its "support for Morocco's territorial integrity against separatist threat", calling on Morocco and Algeria to fully normalize relations to devote efforts to the national causes of the Arab world.

Algeria and Polisario are constantly accumulating failures over the Sahara, in front of a succession of withdrawals of recognition, said a source close to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and of Cooperation.

Algeria commits a serious error by its attitude vis-à-vis the Sahara issue, said President of the Belgian Senate, Mr. Armand De Decker.

The minister of State for Europe in the German ministry of Foreign Affairs, Gunter Gloser, hailed, here Wednesday, the "excellence of relations" between Morocco and Germany.
