Morocco made concrete proposals to come out of the deadlock in the implementation of the Sahara settlement plan, Moroccan foreign affairs and cooperation minister, Mohamed Benaissa said.

Part of the moves to advance the settlement plan, Morocco proposed a dialogue with the other party, within the respect of Morocco's sovereignty and territorial integrity, Benaissa said in a letter to the 6th ministerial meeting of the Caribbean States Association, held Dec. 7-8 in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

Morocco is attending the meeting to show its desire to consolidate cooperation ties of member countries of the association. Morocco and the Caribbean States Association signed in 1999 in Panama city a cooperation accord.
