Saint Kitts and Nevis called, during the C24 Caribbean Seminar held in Caracas (May 14-16), for a political solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara under the Kingdom's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Gambia has reaffirmed its "firm support" for Morocco’s sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as for the Autonomy plan, which serves as a serious compromise and viable solution to the regional dispute over the Sahara.

The debate on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara at the C24 Caribbean Seminar, held in Caracas (May 14-16), ended with sharp exchange between Morocco’s Ambassador to the UN, Omar Hilale and his Algerian counterpart Amar Benjama. The Moroccan diplomat vigorously denounced the acts of intimidation exerted by his Algerian colleague against the delegations which supported the Moroccanness of the Sahara during this meeting.

Arab leaders reiterated their full and strong rejection of any support for armed groups or militias that operate outside the sovereignty of states, while affirming solidarity with all Arab countries in defending their sovereignty and territorial integrity

Responding to Algerian UN ambassador Amar Bendjama's misleading assertions on the Moroccan Sahara issue, at the C24 seminar currently taking place in Caracas, Venezuela, Morocco's ambassador and permanent representative to the UN, Omar Hilale, questioned him about his presence in Caracas, when he has a mandate from the Arab group to defend its causes in New York.
