Morocco and the Visegrád group build their relationship on a solid foundation of trust, said Morocco's Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was questioned again on Wednesday about Algeria's devolution of power in the Tindouf camps to an armed separatist group.

The autonomy plan constitutes "an important contribution" from Morocco to resolve the dispute over the Sahara, says the German Federal Foreign Office on Monday in a statement.
