Morocco on Wednesday said it will continue to defend Kuwait's unity and security and call for lifting the embargo imposed on Iraq.

"Morocco, which is firmly attached to international legality, will continue to defend Kuwait's unity and security and call for lifting the embargo imposed on the Iraqi people," Speaker of the Moroccan Chamber of Advisors (upper house), Mohamed Jalal Essaid, on Wednesday said in a release circulated after his meeting in Rabat with a visiting Kuwaiti MP delegation.

He recalled initiatives by the late King Hassan II and by King Mohammed VI for the settlement of the conflict between Iraq and Kuwait.
