"The German minister stressed the consistent position of his country regarding the Sahara issue, highlighting Germany's support to the United Nations efforts to achieve a lasting and mutually acceptable political solution," said a joint statement issued Thursday in Marrakech, following the visit of the chief of German diplomacy.

 "Both sides noted that the United Nations Security Council deemed serious and credible Morocco's efforts to promote the search for a solution" to the artificial conflict over the Moroccan Sahara, said the joint statement.

 On the other hand, the German minister hailed the progress made by Morocco to consolidate the rule of law and good governance. "Both sides agreed that concrete projects, included in the 'strengthening democratic process Partnership' program, are to be initiated in these fields," the joint statement added.
