Bulgarian vice-prime minister, minister of foreign affairs, M. Ivailo Kalfin, reiterated, here Wednesday, his country's support to Morocco in endeavoring towards a negotiated solution to the Sahara dispute.

The latest report of the international NGO Human Rights Watch (HRW) on the Sahara is selective and ignores the case of children of Tindouf camps expatriates in Cuba and the Moroccans expelled from Algeria, said the Director of Management Systems International for Morocco, a U.S. consultancy firm. 

 The autonomy plan for of the southern provinces presented by Morocco aims to "promote the emergence of a compromise", reiterated the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Mr. Taib Fassi-Fihri, regretting that despite efforts of the Kingdom, described as "credible and serious" by the international community and the Security Council, Algeria and the Polisario "have never expressed" the desire for openness and realism. "

The United States urged the parties involved in the Sahara issue to "continue to negotiate without preconditions and in good faith with a spirit of realism and compromise toward a just, lasting and mutually-acceptable political solution" of the Sahara issue, hailing the Secretary-General's announcement of Ambassador Christopher Ross as his Personal Envoy to the Sahara.

US diplomat, Christopher Ross has been appointed as the personal envoy of the United Nations Secretary General for the Sahara, the UNSG spokesperson, Michele Montas announced on Wednesday.
