RABAT —
Morocco said
Algeria on Tuesday invited its King
Mohammed VI to attend an Arab League summit in Algiers in November, at a time
of tensions between the North African neighbors.

The foreign ministry in Rabat said visiting Algerian
Justice Minister Abderrachid Tabi had delivered a letter to Foreign Minister
Nasser Bourita inviting the king to the November 1–2 summit.
The ministry has yet to specify who will represent
Morocco at the gathering in Algeria’s capital.
According to Jeune Afrique magazine, the king is to
attend, but there has been no official confirmation. Moroccan media have said
Prime Minister
Aziz Akhannouch and Bourita will travel to Algiers.
King Mohammed in late July renewed calls for a
restoration of ties with Algeria, which broke off diplomatic relations with
Rabat last year.
Morocco and Algeria have long been at odds over the
disputed territory of Western Sahara, where the Algiers-backed Polisario Front
is seeking independence from Rabat’s rule.
Algeria severed ties in August 2021, accusing Rabat of
“hostile acts”, a move which Morocco said was “completely unjustified”.
