ALGIERS,November 19, 2015 (SPS)- Maltese Foreign Minister George William Vella reiterated Wednesday in Algiers his country's support to UN resolution for the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination.
"Our position has not changed. We will continue to support the UN resolution for the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination," Vella told a news conference.
This is the "unique framework" likely to resolve Western Sahara conflict."
"The Sahrawi question pushed to the sidelines, given the current economic situation, but has never been forgotten," he said, recalling that his country had hosted an international forum in 2011 on Western Sahara.
He furthermore stated that Malta, which will assume the presidency of the European Union (EU) in 2017, plans to make an assessment of the occupied situation in the territories by Morocco since 1975. (SPS)
