An Algerian minister will travel to Morocco to prepare the Arab League summit

Sep. 7 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Algerian Minister of Justice, Tebbi Abderrachid, will soon travel to Morocco to personally deliver an invitation to the Arab League summit that Algiers will host in early November, despite the fact that both countries broke diplomatic relations in August 2021.

The Moroccan Foreign Ministry has confirmed in a statement that “the Algerian Minister of Justice will be received in Morocco”, as part of a series of trips by “emissaries” from the neighboring country to the capitals of the Arab countries.

With these trips, Algiers intends to invite “all the heads of state of the member countries of the Arab League”, which would imply, in the case of Morocco, King Mohamed VI. The Algerian Government has been reporting in recent days of contacts with various countries.

Algiers broke off diplomatic relations with Rabat in August 2021 alleging a host of circumstances, among which he cited the lack of progress in resolving the open dispute over Western Sahara.

Since then, the geopolitical situation in the Maghreb has added new tensions, with no signs of rapprochement between the Moroccan and Algerian authorities. Morocco considered its diplomatic crisis with Spain settled after the Pedro Sánchez government endorsed Mohamed VI’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara, a turn that instead led Algeria to call its ambassador in Madrid to consult.
