Chile has reaffirmed its “unwavering” support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative proposed by the Kingdom with a view to finding a definitive solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, according to Francisco Chahuán, Chairman of the Chilean Senate’s Committee on Foreign Relations.
“Chile’s position is unwavering in its support for Morocco’s territorial integrity. This is a matter of principle in its foreign policy, which remains unchanged and is one of the constants of our country’s democratic governments,” Chahuán told the press on Monday in Rabat, following talks with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita.
“The visit to Morocco by the Chilean Senate’s Committee on Foreign Relations supports the firm position of the State of Chile on the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco, and we wish to work together so that other countries can back this proposal, particularly in the Latin American region,” added Chahuán, who is leading a large delegation from the Chilean Senate visiting the Kingdom at the invitation of the House of Councillors.
Noting that the two countries face common challenges, Chahuán expressed his country’s full readiness to strengthen cooperation with Morocco, through a free-trade agreement that would enable trade links between Morocco and Chile to be strengthened, underlining in this respect his country’s great interest in Morocco’s fertilizer sector, as well as in the development of the green hydrogen industry.
As part of his working visit to the Kingdom, the Chairman of the Chilean Senate’s Committee on Foreign Relations will hold a number of meetings with Moroccan officials.
