Spain’s Sanchez Seeks to Rebuild Ties with Morocco Amid UN Assembly

"You know that Morocco is in the process of forming a new government, we will wait for it to be constituted, but I believe that what happened in the previous months, in August in particular, shows that we are facing a great opportunity to restore good relations with Morocco, but also on a more solid basis...," said Pedro Sanchez, during a press conference held in New York, on the sidelines of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly. The head of the Spanish government added that the high-level meeting with Morocco will be held in the coming days.

Relations between Morocco and Spain were shaken by a serious diplomatic crisis provoked by the reception in April of the Polisario leader in a hospital in Logroño under a false identity.
