During two separate meetings with Moroccan Premier, Abbas El Fassi in Qatar, on the sidelines of the Doha International Conference on Financing for Development, the two countries' presidents hailed Morocco's Sahara initiative to grant substantial autonomy to its southern provinces.

The kingdom of Morocco is pleased about the confirmation by Denmark of the absence of a representation of the "polisario" in the country, the spokesman for the Moroccan Foreign ministry announced on Thursday.

Prime Minister Abbas El Fassi, described as "very important" his official visit to Vietnam and his meetings with senior officials of that country, which opens promising prospects for bilateral relations in many areas.

Algeria and Polisario are constantly accumulating failures over the Sahara, in front of a succession of withdrawals of recognition, said a source close to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and of Cooperation.

Morocco and the Netherlands signed, here Monday, a Common Action Program affirming their mutual political will to deepen bilateral relations in political, economic and social fields.
