Morocco will continue with its policy on Sahara issue

A Moroccan minister has affirmed that Morocco's new king, King Mohammed Ben Al-Hassan, will follow his late father's (the late King Hassan II) footsteps regarding the Moroccan Sahara issue.

The late King Hassan II had led the struggle for retrieving the Sahara, and his successor, King Mohammed Ben Al-Hassan, will continue the same path and will carry on the struggle until the completion of the kingdom's territorial integrity, General Affairs Minister Ahmed Lahlimi told the London-based TV channel Middle-East Broadcasting Center (MBC).

Touching on the normalization of relations between Morocco and Algeria, Lahlimi recalled that the Late King Hassan II was scheduled to meet President Abdelaziz Bouteflika "to march together on the path towards the edification of a genuine Arab Maghreb Union" (UMA).
