Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Callus Buritacancelled A bilateral meeting with the European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Policy, scheduled for next September in Rabat, Josep Borrell said that diplomatic sources informed Efe.
Sources did not provide further details on the reasons for this decision and limited themselves to saying it now. The high representative’s visit to Morocco is “inappropriate”.

At a press conference in Rabat with her German counterpart, Annalena Baebock, the Moroccan minister said: He hoped Borrell had a “slip”.
In an interview with RTVE last Tuesday, Borrell said that the Spanish Government’s stance on the conflict in Western Sahara is that of the EU. “Advocating for a consultation to take place so that the Saharawi people decide what they want their future to be”.
In an interview with EFE the next day, the high representative described his words as follows: The solution of the Sahara problem goes through “a solution agreed between the parties” and “within the framework of United Nations resolutions”.
