GCC Reiterates Support for Morocco’s Territorial Integrity at the UN

Countries of the Arab Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) reiterated on Friday their support for Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty before the UN’s Fourth Commission.

“We express our rejection of any attempt to undermine the supreme interests of the brotherly Kingdom of Morocco, or its sovereignty”, Manal Radwan, first secretary at Saudi Arabia’s UN mission told the UN Commission.

Radwan added that GCC countries are backing efforts to resolve the Sahara issue through a “political and consensual” solution within the framework of relevant Security Council resolutions, including the 2285 resolution.
In this respect, the Saudi diplomat expressed support for the efforts led by the UN Special Envoy, Christopher Ross.

The diplomat also relayed the call of the GCC countries on all the parties to the conflict to “work seriously to contribute positively to the success of this important political process”.
