Rabat – Suriname officially opened its consulate general in the city of Dakhla in southern Morocco on Thursday, May 26.
Surinamese Minister of Foreign Affairs Albert Ramdin and the governor of the Aousserd region Abderrahmane El Jaouhari chaired the inauguration ceremony.
On Wednesday, Suriname also opened an embassy in Rabat, a move that emphasizes the commitment of the South American country to boost its bilateral relations with Morocco.
In a joint statement on May 25, Suriname and Morocco emphasized their determination to work together to cooperate in different fields.
The joint communique followed a meeting between Ramdin and his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita in Rabat.
The communique quoted Bourita, informing Ramdin of the latest developments –particularly the international community’s broad support for Morocco’s Autonomy Plan as a basis to end the dispute of Western Sahara.
“Minister Bourita reiterated the commitment of the Kingdom of Morocco to the ongoing political process under the exclusive auspices of the United Nations,” the communique said.
In response, Ramdin reaffirmed Suriname’s recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over the Western Sahara region, expressing full support for the North African country’s Autonomy Plan to bring peace and stability to the region.
Dozens of countries have opened their representations in southern provinces in Morocco to reflect their support for Morocco’s Autonomy Plan. Dakhla and Laayoune host 12 representations each.
