Guterres expressed his full satisfaction with the cooperation with the Royal Armed Forces (FAR), particularly for the excellent level of exchanges within the bilateral work and coordination mechanism that brings together FAR and MINURSO, which has made it possible to resolve a significant number of outstanding issues.

The Secretary-General also highlighted the Moroccan government's significant support for MINURSO, citing in particular the prompt provision of Covid-19 test results for UN Mission personnel, as well as the access of UN personnel to special flights, thereby greatly facilitating MINURSO staff rotations.

In his recommendations to the members of the Security Council, the UN chief further reiterated his full appreciation for the cooperation between the Moroccan authorities and MINURSO, recalling in this regard that he had praised, in his last report, the full cooperation of FAR with the UN Mission.
