Morocco’s Autonomy Plan Serious Basis for Negotiated Solution: French FM

Paris – France on Tuesday reiterated its position on the issue of the Western Sahara, in southern Morocco, stressing that the autonomy plan is a serious and credible basis for a negotiated solution.

“The position of France on this issue is well-known and constant,” spokesperson of the French foreign ministry Romain Nadal pointed out at a press briefing, adding that his country supports a just and negotiated solution under the aegis of the United Nations and in accordance with the resolutions of the Security Council.
