Cote d'Ivoire stressed on Monday in front of the 4th Committee of the UN General Assembly that the Moroccan autonomy plan "finds its source in international legality" and testifies the serious and credible efforts of Morocco in a political settlement to the dispute over the issue of the Moroccan Sahara.

Saudi Arabia reiterated on Monday at the UN its support for Morocco's autonomy plan to resolve the Sahara conflict, renewing on this occasion its support for the supreme interests and sovereignty of the Kingdom.

Guinea said on Friday in New York that the Moroccan autonomy plan has the merit of "transcending traditional divergent positions" and laying the foundations for an effective autonomy of the Sahara through the establishment of executive, legislative and judicial bodies with their own powers.

The Central African Republic (CAR) lambasted on Friday before the 4th Committee of the UN General Assembly the maneuvers of the "other parties" to hinder the final settlement of the Sahara issue.

The participation rate in the elections, which reached 76 pc in the southern provinces in free and transparent elections, as attested by the international community, reflects Saharawi people's attachment to Morocco, said parliamentarian and member of the Royal Advisory Council  of Saharan Affairs (CORCAS), Ahmed Lakhrif.
