Dominica affirmed, Monday before the UN Committee of 24, that thanks to Morocco's efforts in terms of economic investments and infrastructure development, the Sahara has transformed into a "prosperous region".

The United Arab Emirates reaffirmed, before the Committee of 24 of the United Nations, its "full support" for the sovereignty of Morocco over its Sahara, as well as to "all the measures that the Kingdom is undertaking to defend its territorial integrity and protect its citizens".

The inauguration of 22 consulates in the Moroccan Sahara represents a sovereign diplomatic act that reinforces the strategic choice that Morocco has made by putting on the table the autonomy plan, said Mhamed Abba who participated in the Committee of 24 of the United Nations in New York as the democratically elected vice-president of the Regional Council of Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra.

Before the Committee of 24 of the UN General Assembly, Ambassador Omar Hilale, Permanent Representative of Morocco to the United Nations, stressed Monday that the UN parameters of self-determination are by no means predictable in Moroccan Sahara.

Morocco considers that any desire to divert the debate on the crisis with Spain is "counterproductive", said Friday in Rabat, minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita.
