Chahid Al Hafed (refugee camps), Nov 8, 2013 (SPS) - President of the Republic, Secretary General of the Polisario Front Mr. Mohamed Abdelaziz received Thursday evening at the Presidency of the Republic in Chahid Al Hafed, Saharawi refugee camps, a Swedish delegation of the Olof Palme International Center and Swedish women.


This delegation is led by the Olof Palme Center’s external relations chairwoman.


This meeting focused on the strong ties of support and assistance that connects Sweden, especially the Social Democratic Party, with the just Saharawi cause, as well as the efforts made by the Olof Palme Center and Swedish women to raise awareness about the Saharawi cause in Sweden and in Europe.


The delegation took this occasion to deliver a letter from the Secretary-General of the World Olof Palme International Center, Mr. Jens Orback, to the President Mohamed Abdelaziz.


The Swedish delegation visits the Saharawi refugee camps to see the situation and the latest developments on the Saharawi question, where they led a special visit to the Olof Palme School in the Wilaya of El Aaiun.


It is note worthy that the Swedish Parliament passed a resolution asking the Swedish government to recognize the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic last year, and to oppose the illegal fishing agreements between the European Union and Morocco. (SPS)
