in the Kingdom under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, a process
that benefits from the support of the Moroccan people.Lieberman, Senator

international scenes, particularly in Syria, stressing the important
role of the Kingdom in this issue.According to him, the emphasis was
also put on the situation in Mali and the Sahara issue, describing the
Moroccan proposal for autonomy in the southern provinces as “relevant
and realistic.” He hoped in this respect that the negotiating tracks can
be identified to make progress in the Sahara issue

against corruption and economic development to improve the living
conditions of the population, said the U.S. Senator who recalled the

of the free trade agreement and the Millennium Development Goals, noting

demonstrates “our interest in Morocco and our confidence in its
government.”
