The Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jose Manuel Albares assured on Tuesday that the working group on the delimitation of maritime waters between Spain and Morocco will resolve the issue “once and for all,” as the border will become a “common space.”
Despite borders being a central government competence, Albares assured that authorities of the Canary Islands will be fully involved in this legislative project, which will start soon.
The head of Spanish diplomacy made this statement in his response to questions from opposition deputies in Congress, about Moroccan oil explorations off the Canary Islands, and its consequences on the environment of the archipelago.
On this issue, the Minister of Foreign Affairs assured that “all these concerns will be addressed by the working group,” adding that he is closely following Morocco’s oil exploration to ensure that it does not affect the Canary Islands.
In a previous press conference, Manuel Albares said that the work of this committee, which has not met for 15 years, will strengthen the relationship between the two countries.
