African Nations Open New Consulates in Western Sahara’s Laâyoune

The opening of the consulates of the Central African Republic and Sao Tome and Principe brings to five the number of diplomatic representations inaugurated in Laâyoune. Indeed, before these two countries, several others have opened representations in this strategic city considered as the most important in Western Sahara.

There is the honorary consulate of Côte d’Ivoire, which opened its doors last June; the general consulate of the Union of the Comoros, which started its activities for the Comorian community in December; the general consulate of Guinea and the general consulate of Gabon, both inaugurated last week.

On Thursday, before the opening of the consulate of the Central African Republic, Nasser Bourita presided, with his Sao Tomean counterpart, over the opening ceremony of the general consulate of Sao Tome and Principe, still in Laâyoune.

Diplomatic representations are gradually settling in Laâyoune, for the happiness of the nationals of friendly countries, but also for the strengthening of relations between the Kingdom and these States.
