Nov. 2 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The King of Morocco, Mohamed VI, has invited the President of Algeria, Abdelmayid Tebune, to visit Rabat soon, taking advantage of the recent attendance of the Moroccan Foreign Minister, Naser Burita, at the Arab League summit held in Algiers.
Burita has personally transferred this invitation, according to Foreign Ministry sources consulted by Europa Press, in the hope that both leaders can resume a dialogue that is non-existent today, given that the two neighboring countries lack diplomatic ties.
The Algerian government broke these relations in August 2021, citing a host of circumstances, among which it cited the lack of progress in resolving the open dispute over Western Sahara, in which Algiers is an ally of the Polisario Front.
Despite this distance, an Algerian minister traveled to Rabat to invite Mohamed VI to attend the Arab League forum held this week. Initially, there was speculation that she might attend, although Burita ended up ruling her out and assuming the leadership of the delegation just a few hours before the forum started.
The summit also evidenced the political pulse that Morocco and Algeria continue to wage, with crossed accusations about alleged rudeness in terms of protocol or false information, among other controversies.
