Morocco’s policy on the Sahara question is imprinted with seriousness, said President of the Brazilian Senate Rodrigo Pacheco, on Monday in Rabat, during an official visit to the Kingdom.
“Morocco’s policy on the Sahara issue is marked by seriousness,” said Pacheco in a statement to the press following his discussions with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita, pointing out that Brazil has taken a formal stance on the matter.
In June 2023, the Brazilian Senate adopted a motion backing Morocco’s autonomy initiative, calling for “more expressive” support for the Kingdom’s “serious and reliable” efforts to reach a solution to this regional conflict.
“Brazil has always taken a constructive and sensible position on this regional conflict. The time is right for our country to consider the autonomy proposal put forward by Morocco as a realistic and pragmatic basis for a political solution in line with the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council,” says the motion, signed by 28 Brazilian senators from different political backgrounds.
With the greatest diplomatic influence in Latin America, Brazil has never recognized the so-called “sadr”.
