PERSISMA, Laayoune, Morocco – The Democratic Republic of Sao Tomé and Principe inaugurated on Thursday a consulate general in the southern city of Laayoune.

The inauguration ceremony was chaired by minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans abroad, Nasser Bourita, and his Santomean counterpart Elsa Teixeira de Barros Pinto.

This is the fourth diplomatic representation to be opened in Laayoune, after the Honorary Consulate of Côte d’Ivoire, opened last June, the Consulate General of the Union of the Comoros (December), and the Consulate General of Gabon, inaugurated last week.

The Moroccan Foreign minister announced last December that at least four African countries will open consulates in Laayoune before the end of 2020.

At least ten diplomatic representations will be opened in the cities of Laayoune and Dakhla in 2020, he added.
