The Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs Le Drian will reiterate the full support of France to the personal envoy of the UN Secretary-General in the exercise of his mission, as well as our commitment to MINURSO, the UN peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara, established in 1991, which had paved way for a cease-fire in the conflict between Morocco and the Polisario Front over the contested territory of Western Sahara. Jean-Yves Le Drian will recall France’s commitment to full compliance with cease-fire agreements. He will reaffirm France’s support for a just, lasting and mutually agreed solution in Western Sahara, in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions, and recall that the Moroccan autonomy plan of 2007 constitutes a serious and credible basis for this end.
