The support expressed by the United Kingdom for the autonomy plan presented by Morocco to resolve the Sahara issue within the framework of its national sovereignty will pave the way for increased cooperation between Rabat and London in several strategically important sectors, said Sir John Chipman, Executive Chairman of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).

“Support for the Moroccan autonomy plan for the Sahara, which adds to the backing already expressed by the United States and France, opens the way for enhanced cooperation between the UK and Morocco, particularly in the diplomatic, military, and economic fields,” he noted.

Such cooperation is all the more important in the context of Morocco’s preparations to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, added Chipman, whose institute is regarded as one of the world’s leading research centers specializing in military and security affairs.
