Algiers, 11 October  2020 (SPS) -  Algerian President, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, reaffirmed Saturday in Algiers, Algeria's position vis-à-vis just causes and its defense of the principle of popular legitimacy and the right of peoples to self-determination.

Regarding the question of Western Sahara, President Tebboune called for "the application of UN resolutions relating to the Western Sahara issue concerning the organization of a self-determination referendum, postponed for nearly three decades , the appointment as soon as possible of a Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary General, and the relaunch of the negotiation process between the two parties to the conflict ".
