Sahara: Spain reaffirms Support for Morocco’s autonomy plan 
Thursday 17 April 2025 - 13:02

Spain reiterated its strong support for Morocco’s autonomy initiative as the most “serious, realistic, and credible” basis to resolve the regional dispute over the Sahara. 

The reaffirmation came Thursday following a meeting in Madrid between Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares and his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita.

Albares emphasized Spain’s recognition of the significance of the Sahara issue for Morocco and praised the Kingdom’s credible efforts under UN auspices to reach a mutually acceptable solution. 

Spain views Morocco’s 2007 autonomy proposal as the best framework to end the long-standing conflict.

This stance aligns with growing international momentum, led by King Mohammed VI, backing Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara and its autonomy plan. 

Albares also referenced UN Security Council Resolution 2756, which called for the plan’s immediate activation.
