The Republic of Guinea expressed, Friday before the Fourth Committee of the UN General Assembly, its support for the Moroccanity of the Sahara and for the autonomy initiative presented by the Kingdom as a “compromise solution in accordance with international law”.
“In the quest for the settlement of this regional dispute, it must be recognized that the Kingdom of Morocco has made serious efforts within the framework of its autonomy initiative, in particular by initiating institutional and economic reforms, aimed at promoting human rights and development in the southern provinces,” said Ambassador Kélétigui Fama Toure, Charge d’Affaires of Guinea to the UN, before the members of the Committee.
“Given the results already palpable in these localities, the Republic of Guinea considers that the Moroccan autonomy initiative is a compromise solution in accordance with international law and the resolutions of the General Assembly and the Security Council”, he stressed.
From year to year, “the Moroccan Sahara issue is at the heart of our debates in the Fourth Committee. This undoubtedly reflects the paramount importance of the said issue for the stability of the region, in particular”, he added.
“In this regard, my country welcomes the holding of two round tables in Geneva bringing together the concerned parties. This new impetus given to the political process by the Secretary-General is highly beneficial,” said Mr. Toure.
“The Republic of Guinea remains convinced that the solution to the Moroccan Sahara issue cannot be found without an inclusive dialogue and respect by the parties of the commitments made. Guinea launches a vibrant appeal to all stakeholders in the political process to fully commit to it in a spirit of realism and compromise in order to achieve a realistic, pragmatic and lasting solution,” the ambassador pointed out.
“I cannot end my remarks without thanking the Moroccan government for the facilities it kindly granted to my country during the opening of the Guinean Consulate General in Dakhla, which reflects the excellence of relations between our two countries”, he concluded.
