Rabat — Morocco’s Western Sahara position continues to receive broad global support. During recent meetings with Morocco’s Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita, Saint Lucia and Dominica officials renewed their country’s full support for Morocco’s territorial integrity.
Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit, reaffirmed his country’s position in Rabat on Thursday, stating that the Moroccan Autonomy Plan is the only credible, serious, and realistic solution for the definitive resolution of the regional dispute over Western Sahara.
“We commend the growing international momentum and consensus, under the leadership of his majesty King Mohammed VI, in favor of the Moroccan autonomy plan and the kingdom’s sovereignty over its Sahara,” Skerrit said
Both Bourita and Skerrit also discussed strengthening bilateral ties between Morocco and the Commonwealth of Dominica.
The Dominican official expressed pleasure at the strengthening of ties between the two countries and conveyedhis deep appreciation of the King’s vision for a solid and active South-South cooperation.
As part of the strong ties, the two countries signed an agreement on visa exemption for official passports.
In regards to Saint Lucia, Prime Minister Philip Joseph Pierre reaffirmed on Thursday in Rabat his country’s full support for Morocco’s sovereignty over its southern provinces, expressing his appreciation for Morocco’s active South-South cooperation.
Joseph Pierre echoed Dominica’s official remarks, describing the autonomy plan as the only, credible, serious, and realistic solution to end the regional dispute.
He also reaffirmed the importance of the deep bilateral ties between the two countries.
Morocco’s momentum continues to gain pace, with an increasing number of countries reaffirming their support for the country’s autonomy plan and its sovereignty over its southern provinces.
The latest country to publicly back Morocco’s position is Hungary, which has described the autonomy plan as an “undebatable” solution to the ongoing dispute over Western Sahara.
Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Peter Szijjarto has said the autonomy initiative is “without any discussion” the most viable basis to resolve the long standing territorial issue.
