The US Deputy Assistant Secretary for North Africa, Joshua Harris, on Thursday reaffirmed US support for the Sahara autonomy plan as “serious, credible and realistic”.

“The United States continues to view the Moroccan autonomy plan as serious, credible and realistic”, said a statement from the US Embassy in Rabat, following Mr. Harris’ meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Resident Abroad, Nasser Bourita.

The senior American official, who was accompanied by his country’s ambassador to Morocco, Puneet Talwar, also “reaffirmed the deep and historic partnership between the United States and Morocco”.

Joshua Harris, whose visit to Rabat crowned a regional tour of “Morocco and Algeria”, underlined the United States’ appreciation of Morocco’s crucial efforts to address a wide range of regional and global challenges, including combating instability in the Sahel, supporting the Libyan elections and promoting equitable measures of freedom, security and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians.
