Peru abstained from voting at the last UN General Assembly in favor of an Algerian draft on the Sahara, said the visiting MP at the end of a meeting with the Speaker of the House of Representatives Abdelouahed Radi.
This stance, he said, reflects Peru's support to Morocco's territorial integrity, a "country that enjoys stability and security within the framework of constitutional monarchy and democracy," said Gonzales Posada.
The Sahara issue was triggered in the mid-seventies by the claim of the Algeria-backed "Polisario" to separate the Moroccan southern provinces, known as the Sahara, from the motherland, after they were retrieved from Spanish rule in line with the Madrid accords signed in 1975.
The Peruvian MP also hailed Morocco's support to Peru in all fields, adding that the two countries, despite geographical distance, are close socially, culturally and at the level of international politics.
Luis Javier Gonzales Posada, who is on a visit to the kingdom till January 10, also met Moroccan Interior minister Chakib Benmoussa.
