President of the autonomous government of the Canary Islands said, on Friday in Rabat, that his government supports a solution to the Sahara issue “under an agreement.”
Paulino Rivero Baute told a press conference that his government supports a solution to the Sahara issue under an agreement between the parties concerned, adding that this position is consistent with the foreign policy of Spain.
He reiterated his government’s willingness to work together with Morocco for the benefit of both parties and towards the institutionalization of bilateral relations within the framework of a joint committee.
The Canary official announced, in this regard, that meetings will be held in the coming weeks in order to work out some projects, particularly in the areas of sea water desalination and aquaculture.
Rivero Baute, who is paying an official visit to Morocco, was received on Thursday by King Mohammed VI in Casablanca.
