Director general for Middle East and North Africa at the Japanese foreign ministry, ambassador katsuhiko Takahashi, reiterated, on Sunday in Tokyo, his country's non-recognition of fake "SADR" and lauded the important role of Morocco in the MENA region.

"We reaffirm our sincere commitment to keep our hands extended to our brothers in Algeria, faithful to the bonds of brotherhood, religion, language and good neighborliness, which have always united our two brotherly peoples"

Ghostly SADR suffered another major setback on Thursday in the capital Addis Ababa after being excluded from a forum organized as part of the China-Africa partnership under the theme "The belt and road dialogue for China-Africa cooperation".
