He also lauded United Nations’ efforts as the exclusive framework to achieve a realistic, practical and lasting solution to the Sahara dispute.

For his part, Bourita thanked Mbae Mohamed for this brotherly country's constant and firm support to the Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara.

The Minister also welcomed the opening of a Consulate General of the Union of the Comoros in Laâyoune, expressing his delight that this friendly country was the first to open a Consulate General in the southern provinces in December 2019.
