Delegations from Morocco and the Polisario Front will meet near New York on Tuesday (February 9th) to begin their second round of informal talks on the Western Sahara territorial dispute. Morocco hopes to achieve a "realistic and feasible political solution of compromise for the benefit of peace, stability and the development of the region", the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
For his part, Sahrawi representative to the UN Mission for Western Sahara (MINURSO), Mohamed Khadad, on Monday reaffirmed the readiness of the Polisario Front to co-operate with the UN-brokered talks and proceed to the fifth round of direct negotiations. "The issue of human rights should not be put aside during these talks, otherwise we won't move forward," Sahara Press Service quoted Khadad as saying.
Algeria and Mauritania are also sending delegations to the session. In a TV interview on Monday, Algerian Maghreb and African Affairs Minister Abdelkader Messahel said he hopes that the talks, "which are in preparation for the fifth round of negotiations between the two parties, will be substantive and fruitful".
