French officials have declined to comment on a privately communicated decision to Algeria that details France’s intentions to recognize Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara under the  autonomy plan, according to Agence France-Presse .

The French government informed Algeria of its position in recent days, according to the Agerian foreign ministry.

Algeria’s rejection of France’s stance could cast a shadow over the planned visit of Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to France, which has already been postponed several times due to bilateral tensions.

France previously voiced support for Morocco’s autonomy proposal.
