In a statement to the press following his reception by the Algerian Minister of State, Minister of Foreign Affairs, National Community Abroad and African Affairs, Mr. Ahmed Attaf, Mr. Beissat expressed his “full” appreciation and gratitude “on behalf of the President of the Republic , Secretary-General of the Polisario Front, Mr. Brahim Ghali, and on behalf of the Sahrawi government and the leadership of the Polisario Front, for what Algeria has done, along with other members of the Security Council, through tremendous efforts” to secure this “positive” resolution.
He stated: “We, as a Sahrawi party, came to express our gratitude to Algeria as a friendly and neighboring state and as a member of the Security Council, in addition to friendly powers in the Council, which played an important role in preserving the UN–African peace plan, its general direction, its foundations, and its framework.”
The Sahrawi Foreign Minister added that the meeting with Mr. Attaf was to discuss “bilateral relations” as well as “the developments in the Sahrawi cause, especially the latest resolution adopted by the UN Security Council.”
He described Resolution 2797 as “positive,” noting that it “clarified matters” after “a period of attempts to sow ambiguity,” adding that the international community, led by the Security Council, “reached this resolution after deep and lengthy discussions.” He stressed that the resolution “clearly and unequivocally highlights, in two of its clauses, the importance, essence, and centrality of the issue of self-determination.”
Mr. Beissat pointed out that the text “clearly underscores the centrality of the United Nations and its framework as the basis for resolving the issue of self-determination and preserves the UN mechanism established by the international community to enable the Sahrawi people to exercise their right to self-determination.”

He concluded by saying, “We are now moving to the next phase, which will determine the modalities and mechanisms for implementing this resolution and the conditions in which it must be applied,” affirming that this process “will take place through communications between the Sahrawi side, the United Nations, and the Personal Envoy.”
