Morocco’s ambassador to the United Nations Mohamed Loulichki said, on Thursday in New York, that any move towards the implementation of the plan Arabic for Syria is “more than welcome.”
“For Morocco, every initiative aimed at implementing the Arab initiative, which is a comprehensive approach, is more than welcome,” the ambassador said to reporters shortly before a U.N. Security Council meeting.
“At the same time, we need all the assistance that the UN can provide to the Arab League in terms of capacity building,” he said.
The Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced Wednesday that the Arab observer mission will return soon to Syria and highlighted the possibility of a joint U.N.-Arab League mission.
Ban said that Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Al Arabi informed him, on Tuesday by telephone, of his intention to send back the Arab observer mission in Syria and suggested that “we consider a joint observation mission in Syria, with a special envoy appointed jointly.”
On this last point, the Moroccan ambassador said that the recall of Moroccan observers followed the decision of the Arab League to suspend the activities of its observers in Syria for an assessment of its mission.
