La Verite: Morocco, Spain must work for infallible ties, Spanish party
Morocco-Spain, Politics, 4/14/2003

Morocco and Spain must work to establish infallible diplomatic ties by cooperating and preserving their friendship, said secretary general of Spain's Socialist Labor Party (PSOE), Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

In an interview with Moroccan weekly La Verite, Zapatero voiced hope to see, as soon as possible, bilateral ties strengthened in the framework of mutual understanding. He also hoped that level-headedness and dialogue will triumph in all common issues.

The head of the Spanish opposition stressed that understanding should logically prevail between the two neighbor countries, so that they can be a model for other countries to follow.

On PSOE's position on the US-led war on Iraq, Zapatero said it is illegal and unjust. "Illegal because it was waged without a UN mandate and transgresses its charter, and unjust because there were other solutions, less tragic, to disarm Saddam Hussein's regime," he said.
