With regard to the crisis in the Eastern -Drc, Bourita emphasized for the commitment of Morocco for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the DRC.
“The persistence of this instability affects continental peace and continental security, the endangerment of development efforts and regional cooperation, in which we all have to act with determination and responsibility, to initiate a dynamic of peaceful, permanent and sustainable settlement against the conflict”, ” he explained.
Morocco also explained that dialogue and negotiations are important at this time and express a fixed opposition to any form of separatism.
