CAIRO (AFP)--The Arab League on Thursday expressed its total support for Morocco in its diplomatic spat with Spain over two "occupied" enclaves, the pan- Arab body said in a statement.
Citing a 1975 declaration, the 22-member group of which Morocco is also a member expressed its "total support for Morocco and expressed hope that this problem can be resolved through dialogue and peaceful means."
A visit by Spain's King Juan Carlos this week to the disputed enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla prompted Rabat to recall its ambassador to Madrid.
The king also reasserted Spain's sovereignty over the two towns on Morocco's Mediterranean coast that have been held for centuries by Spain.
The Arab League said the dispute should be solved "in the framework of friendship between the two countries which will reinforce historical relations between Spain and the Arab world."
