Morocco and the European Union (EU) reiterated, on Wednesday in Brussels, their support for the United Nations political process on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara. Indeed, the UN institution hopes to achieve a just, realistic, pragmatic, sustainable and mutually acceptable political solution to the Sahara issue.

Morocco and the EU encourage "all parties to continue their engagement, in a spirit of realism and compromise", specifies the MAP.
