The leader of the Western Sahara independence movement, Brahim Ghali, returned to Algeria on Wednesday after spending more than a month in hospital in Spain - a stay which triggered a diplomatic row between Spain and Morocco.
"He arrived safe and sound," said Jalil Mohamed, the Polisario Front's spokesman in Spain.
Algerian state television later showed President Abdelmadjid Tebboune visiting Ghali in hospital, but gave no details of their discussion.
Rabat has not yet commented on Ghali's departure from Spain but had previously said that it would not alone resolve the dispute.
