Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould El Ghazouani has affirmed that Mauritania’s “positive neutrality” vis-à-vis the Western Sahara issue “must be used in favor of trying to bring the views closer and find a solution.”

In an interview with the French magazine ” Jeune Afrique,” in response to a question about his reception of officials from the Polisario Front, Ould al-Ghazwani added that Mauritania remained “on the same footing that it has adopted since emerging from the conflict,” noting that it “wishes to maintain good relations with all parties.”
