he autonomy plan, presented by Morocco to resolve the dispute over the Sahara, remains "the only truly realistic solution," said Jorge Dezcallar, former Spanish ambassador to Morocco and former director of the Spanish National Intelligence Center.

Morocco and Spain; two neighboring countries that are aware of the crucial importance of preserving a solid and lasting relationship, and that share a huge potential for development, are determined to give their cooperation a more supportive and complementary dimension, especially in times of difficulty.

The opening of a consulate representing the six countries of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) in Dakhla confirms the growing support for the Sahara’s Moroccanness, and reflects the strong relations between Morocco and this regional grouping.

 

The remarks were made at a joint news conference in Dakhla by the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit, and Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, following the inauguration Thursday in Dakhla of a consulate general of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).
