These efforts include cooperation and learning from Moroccan expertise covering sectors of education, vocational training, tourism, fisheries, and others.
Guinea-Bissau continuously demonstrated its unwavering support for Morocco’s territorial. They reflected their support with the opening of their diplomatic representation in Dakhla in October 2020.
The opening of the consulate came after the two countries signed a group of agreements seeking to boost cooperation at different levels, including energy tourism, transport, and logistics.
About 30 countries have opened their consulates in Morocco’s southern provinces as part of the growing support for the country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over its southern provinces.
Over 100 countries support and regard Morocco’s Autonomy Plan to the UN as a “serious and credible political solution” to end the dispute over Western Sahara.
