he growing international momentum in favor of the Moroccan Sahara confirms the irreversibility of a political solution to this regional dispute based exclusively on the autonomy plan and within the framework of the Kingdom’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity, Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, said on Friday.
This constant dynamic calls first and foremost on the United Nations to “create harmony and bring the UN world closer to the reality on the ground,” which unambiguously confirms that the Moroccan autonomy plan submitted by the Kingdom in 2007 is the “one and only” solution to this conflict, in full respect of Morocco’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty, the official told the press on the sidelines of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.
Bourita noted that the bilateral meetings he had held on this occasion with his counterparts and senior officials from member states had addressed this international dynamic driven by HM King Mohammed VI, noting that many countries had reaffirmed their support for Morocco’s territorial integrity and autonomy plan.
In the same vein, the FM referred to the position of Denmark, which has joined the chorus of nations supporting the Moroccan initiative, noting that 19 EU member countries have now joined this dynamic.
Denmark’s new position confirms a fundamental trend in all regions of the European continent, he said.
