Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo renewed Monday his country’s support for the Sahara autonomy plan adopted by Belgium in 2022.

“Belgium is aware of the importance of this file for Morocco,” said De Croo adding: “two years ago, we gave our clear opinion on the issue, and today, we renew this position while supporting the resolutions of the United Nations and the Security Council and Morocco’s efforts to reach a political solution that satisfies both sides of the conflict.”

The declaration was made during the third session of the Joint Higher Committee between Morocco and Belgium, headed by Aziz Akhannouch and  his Belgian counterpart.

In his speech, the Belgian Prime Minister said, “The committee returns to life after a long period, that is, ten years, and it comes so that Belgium and Morocco can work together and gain a new friendship, in light of a complex world.”

The Belgian official continues, “Belgium seeks to strengthen relations with Rabat, its primary and reliable partner,” adding: “Our historical relations began years ago, and we are seeking to develop them at present, in light of occasions that bring us together, such as the sixtieth anniversary of the labor partnership between Belgium and Morocco.”

“There are many Belgians living in Morocco, and there is a large Moroccan workforce in Brussels, and our political relations reflect trust between the two countries, and we seek to strengthen this existing rapprochement.”
