Ceuta is 'Indissociable' from Spain, affirms Felipe VI

King Felipe VI reaffirmed Spain's undisputed sovereignty over Ceuta, an enclave in North Africa claimed by Morocco. He stated that 'Ceuta and Melilla are inseparable from Spain' and emphasized that Spanish sovereignty over these territories is non-negotiable, during a visit welcomed enthusiastically by locals. He also visited the Sidi Embarek cemetery to pay tribute to migrants who died attempting to reach Ceuta in July. This was the first royal visit to Ceuta since 2007, which had caused a diplomatic crisis with Morocco.
