UMA follow-up committee and consultative council bureau meet in Rabat

The follow-up committee of the Arab Maghreb Union (UMA) will hold a session this April 17-18 in Rabat which is also hosting this Tuesday a meeting of the grouping's consultative council.

An Algerian delegate to the UMA consultative council bureau meeting told MAP the session comes after the council's sectoral commissions met in the five Maghreban capitals. Participants will examine the commissions' recommendations and proposals in preparation for the council general assembly.

The follow-up committee, meeting this April 17-18, will ponder on the Maghreban union.

Meantime, the Moroccan capital city of Rabat will host Wednesday and Thursday a preparatory meeting for the 7th session of the presidency council of the Arab Maghreb Union (UMA), a diplomatic source said Tuesday.
