The Federal Republic of Somalia on Friday reaffirmed its support for Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over all its territory, praising the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2797.
Somali Foreign Minister Abdisalam Abdi Ali reiterated his country’s “firm and consistent” position during a bilateral meeting in Rabat with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, according to a joint statement issued after the talks.
Abdi Ali said Somalia welcomed the Security Council’s adoption of Resolution 2797, which recognizes the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco—under its sovereignty—as the basis for “a just, lasting and final” settlement to the regional dispute.
During the discussions, the Somali minister also commended what he described as Morocco’s serious and realistic efforts to end the long-running conflict, expressing Somalia’s full support for the UN secretary-general and his personal envoy for Western Sahara.
For his part, Bourita voiced Morocco’s appreciation for Somalia’s vote in favor of Resolution 2797, adopted Oct. 31, 2025. He also reaffirmed Morocco’s commitment to Somalia’s unity and sovereignty over all its territory.
