Nigerien Delegate Minister for African Integration and Nigeriens Living Abroad, Bala Goga Salamatou, has congratulated Morocco on the success of the African Ministerial Conference on the support of the African Union to the United Nations political process on the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, which was held Monday in Marrakech with the participation of 37 African countries from the five sub-regions of the continent.

The Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for the Moroccan Sahara, Horst Köhler, expressed on Friday his intention to organize a third round table meeting according to the same format.

Morocco wants the other parties to adhere to the process led by UNSG Personal Envoy for the Moroccan Sahara Horst Köhler "with a real will, away from the language of the past, overused approaches and impossible solutions," said foreign minister Nasser Bourita, on Friday in Geneva.

A Moroccan delegation will travel to Geneva on March 21-22 at the invitation of the UN Secretary General's Personal Envoy for the Moroccan Sahara, Horst Köhler, to participate in a 2nd "round table" discussions, alongside Algeria, the "polisario" and Mauritania, according to a statement by the ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Nasser Bourita, underlined on Tuesday in Rabat the need for the African Union to get rid of “sterile and useless” debates regarding the Moroccan Sahara issue.
