Morocco is ready to cooperate with Spain and other European partners on the return of unaccompanied minors, state news agency MAP reported on Thursday, as authorities in Ceuta — a Spanish enclave in northern Morocco — seek solutions for hundreds of children who crossed the border last week.
"Morocco has committed, in line with high royal instructions issued to the interior and foreign affairs ministries, to work towards identifying unaccompanied minors with a view to their return to their homeland," MAP, which reflects official positions, said citing a diplomatic source.
