Morocco's King Mohammed VI has dispatched cables of gratitude to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) leaders for their supportive stance on the Western Sahara issue, during the 42nd GCC summit that was held in Riyadh on Tuesday.
In his cable to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, King Mohammed stressed that this stance is unsurprising, given that it stems from Saudi Arabia, the fraternal country which Morocco shares solid ties and distinguished partnerships with.
In his messages, the Sovereign stressed that Morocco has always considered the security and stability of the Arab Gulf countries as an integral part of its security.
He added that the Moroccan-Gulf partnership stems from similar points of view regarding the joint issues and does not stand on conditional interests.
King Mohammed underscored his pride in the mutual appreciation, deeply rooted ties, fruitful cooperation and effective solidarity between the Saudi and Moroccan royal families.
He also sent a cable to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, in which he expressed gratitude for Rabat’s stance on the Western Sahara.
He described the position of the GCC leaders as noble, noting that this stance strengthens Morocco’s permanent and absolute commitment to the defense of the security and stability of Gulf states, as well as to the reinforcement of their strategic and exemplary partnership at the regional and international levels.
