Japan solemnly reiterates its non-recognition of the puppet entity “polisario” (Medi1 TV exclusive)
Rabat – Japan, which hosted the preparatory work for the 9th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) on Friday, solemnly reiterated its non-recognition of the puppet entity of the “polisario”, reports exclusively the Medi1 TV channel.
Japanese Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Fukazawa Yoichi, who spoke at the plenary session, said that the intrusion of the “polisario” at this meeting “does not change Japan’s position in any way,” the channel said in its news bulletin on Saturday morning.
Japan also stressed that it invites only UN member states to TICAD conferences.
Reacting to this incident, political scientist Mustapha Tossa said that this act “shows to what extent Algerian diplomacy is ready for any subterfuge to try to undermine the Moroccanness of the Sahara.”
“By trying to impose clandestinely the participation of the phantom RASD in this meeting, the Algerian regime violates the traditional position of Japan which does not recognize this entity and which has never invited it to participate in its dialogue with the African continent,” he argued.
According to Mr. Tossa, “this regrettable incident was an opportunity for Japanese diplomacy to reiterate its position of refusal to this separatist misadventure sponsored and financed by the Algerian regime.”
He added that Japan has officially affirmed its refusal of such behavior, noting that this incident will push many African countries to seriously consider the possibility of expelling from their ranks the “polisario” which is beginning to poison the relations of the African Union with its international partners.
