The Republic of Malawi reiterated on Friday its “constant” position in favor of Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over its entire territory, including the Sahara region.
This position was expressed by the new Malawian (MP) Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. George Thapatula Chaponda, during a telephone conversation with Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita.
Chaponda also welcomed “the growing international consensus” and the momentum led by His Majesty King Mohammed VI in favor of the autonomy plan presented by the Kingdom.
In this regard, he reaffirmed the support of the Republic of Malawi to this plan, describing it as “the only credible and realistic solution” to the resolution of this issue.
The Malawian top diplomat further welcomed the efforts of the United Nations as the exclusive framework for achieving a solution.
The two Ministers reiterated their determination to set a strategic course to strengthen multisectoral cooperation between both countries, relying on established diplomatic representations, including the Consulate General of Malawi in Laayoune, operational since December 2023. This dynamic seeks to bring the bilateral relations into line with the aspirations of the two Heads of State.
