The Netherlands considers Morocco’s autonomy plan proposal for Western Sahara “a serious and credible contribution to the UN-led political process” to resolve the regional conflict.

The news came through a statement by Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wopke Hoekstra, after the diplomat held talks with Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita.

This declaration of support is the latest in a succession of steady wins for Moroccan diplomacy.

In a joint statement issued on the sidelines of the ministerial meeting of the Global Coalition Against ISIS, the Netherlands and Morocco reaffirm their support for the ongoing efforts of the UN Secretary General’s Personal Envoy for the Sahara, Staffan de Mistura.

Both countries hailed the special envoy’s efforts to pursue “a political process aimed at achieving a just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution,” in accordance with the resolutions of the Security Council as well as the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
