“His Majesty King Mohammed VI had a telephone conversation today with the Secretary
General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres.

The conversation focused on the latest developments of the National Cause, including the
situation in the Guergarate zone in the Moroccan Sahara.

During this conversation. His Majesty the King stressed that after the failure of all the
laudable attempts by the Secretary General, the Kingdom of Morocco has shouldered its
responsibilities within the framework of its most legitimate right, all the more so because this
is not the first time that the “polisario” militias engage in unacceptable actions.

Morocco has restored the situation, definitively resolved the problem and re-established the
flow of traffic.

His Majesty the King said that the Kingdom of Morocco will continue to take the necessary
measures to ensure order and guarantee a safe and fluid movement of people and goods in this
area on the border between the Kingdom and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.

His Majesty the King reaffirmed to Mr. Guterres Morocco’s steadfast commitment to the
ceasefire. Likewise, the Kingdom remains firmly determined to react, with the utmost severity
and within the framework of legitimate defense, to any threat to its security and the peace of
its citizens.

Finally, His Majesty the King assured the Secretary General that Morocco will continue to
support his efforts within the framework of the political process. The latter should resume on
the basis of clear parameters, involving the real parties to this regional dispute and allowing a
realistic and achievable solution within the framework of the Kingdom’s sovereignty”
