The Moroccan delegation that includes Moroccan Foreign Minister, Mohamed Benaissa, and head of the Advisory Council for Sahara Issues (CORCAS) Khalihenna Ould Errachid, met with the Argentinean Foreign Minister, Jorge Taiana.

    The plan aims to grant substantial autonomy to the Southern Provinces, and solve the 30-year-old dispute over the territory triggered by the claims of the Algeria-backed Polisario separatists in the mid-Seventies.

    The Moroccan delegation was also received by the Argentinean Vice-President, and Speaker of the Senate, Daniel Scioli, and by the Speaker of the House of Advisors, Alberto Edgardo Balestrini.

    The visit is part of a Moroccan worldwide diplomatic move to explain the autonomy plan to world capitals, and drum up support for it, before presenting it, this April to the UN Security Council.
