Saudi ambassador to Morocco denies granting scholarships to Polisario students

Rabat - Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Morocco Abderrahmane Mohamed El-Jadii denied allegations reported by certain electronic media outlets suggesting the embassy granted scholarships to students from the Polisario front.

KSA ambassador "has denied reports suggesting granting scholarships to students from the Polisario front", a statement of the embassy said.

Some electronic media outlets reported last Friday that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expressed to the United Nations its readiness to host students from the Polisario.

The Saudi diplomat said that his country's position with regard to the Sahara issue is "immutable", stressing "the deep, solid and distinguished bonds" between Morocco and KSA.
