Spain defends the centrality of the United Nations and supports efforts by the UN Secretary General and his personal envoy to reach a political solution as part of relevant resolutions by the UN security council, said Borrell in a joint press briefing with foreign minister Nasser Bourita.

The position of Spain on the Sahara issue is precise and unwavering, he said, noting that this is a State's position which has not changed.

Borrell is part of the delegation accompanying King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia in their official visit to Morocco at the invitation of HM King Mohammed VI.
