The six member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have reiterated their support for Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara and backed the Moroccan autonomy initiative as a basis for resolving the regional dispute.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain restated their positions during discussions at the United Nations General Assembly on the use of the Security Council veto.

The Gulf states reaffirmed their support for Morocco’s territorial integrity and said they backed efforts to reach a political settlement within the UN-led process and in accordance with relevant Security Council resolutions.

They also reiterated their support for Morocco’s autonomy proposal under the Kingdom’s sovereignty and territorial unity, describing it as a basis for a realistic and lasting political solution to the dispute.

The GCC further praised Morocco’s commitment to the ceasefire and its efforts to preserve security and stability, commending Rabat’s stated preference for de-escalation and a political approach to developments in the dispute.

The renewed statements underscore the GCC members’ continued alignment in support of Morocco’s position on the Sahara, its autonomy initiative and its efforts to promote regional stability.
