This position was expressed in a statement issued following a phone conversation held Monday between Nasser Bourita, Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, and his counterpart Fernando Aramayo, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Plurinational State of Bolivia.

“The Plurinational State of Bolivia, acting in full conformity with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797 (2025) and reaffirming its support for the political process under the UN’s auspices, has undertaken a sovereign reconsideration of its foreign policy. Following this review, Bolivia has decided to suspend its diplomatic ties with the entity named the Sahrawi Arab democratic republic (SADR) and to end all official contact with it, pointing out that it is not recognized as a member State of the United Nations Organization,” the statement reads.

“This decision is part of Bolivia’s will to contribute constructively to international efforts aimed at achieving a realistic, pragmatic and lasting political solution, grounded in compromise, in line with the United Nations’ parameters,” the statement adds.

Bolivia’s decision to suspend recognition of the “SADR” opens a new chapter in relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Latin American country.

According to the statement, the two countries have also agreed to restore diplomatic relations and initiate the required procedures to establish resident diplomatic missions in La Paz and Rabat.
