Spain and Morocco Negotiate Improved Sahara Airspace Management, No Transfer Planned

"In no case will there be a transfer of the airspace of the Sahara to Morocco. What the two governments are discussing is to improve the management of this airspace," Torres said, recalling that these negotiations are in line with point 7 of the joint declaration of last April between Spain and Morocco.

The Canarian president said he had exchanged with the Minister of Foreign Affairs who assured him that the talks with Morocco do not concern any transfer. Torres also stressed the importance of maintaining a fluid relationship with Morocco based on "transparency", without making "unilateral decisions", "without distorting things and without triggering an alarm between the Spanish and Moroccan governments".
