Washington values Morocco's backing to peace efforts in mideast
"The United States recognizes and greatly values Morocco's tradition of support for Middle-East peace efforts," US ambassador to Morocco, Ms. Margaret Tutwiler said on Wednesday.
The US diplomat told the press in Rabat that her country appreciates King Mohammed VI's special role as head of the Al-Quds Committee of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
"President Bush appreciates the King's support for the cause of the Middle-East peace," she said, adding "we will depend on Morocco's continued support for peace to help bring about an end to violence and revive peace negotiations."
The diplomat noted that her country has no magic solution to the issue. "This issue is not America's responsibility alone. Arab leaders must continue active and constructive engagement with us and, more importantly, with the parties, if there is to be any hope for success," Ms Tutwiler said.
