Denmark Joins Over Hundred Countries Supporting Morocco’s Autonomy Plan

Denmark has joined 18 European countries and a hundred others over the globe that support the Moroccan Sahara Autonomy Plan, wrote several South American media outlets commenting on the latest Danish decision.

The Argentinian website “Eldesafio semanario” stressed that “the seriousness, clarity and the noble principles which mark” the Moroccan proposition have resulted into a “growing international support” to the autonomy plan.

The latest, added the same source, was Denmark, which recognized the autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty, when Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen met his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita in New York.

According to “Las24horasdeJujuy,” this is due to the fact that “the text of the proposal does not stop at generalities, but addresses the different aspects of the issue and presents serious and honest solutions to overcome them.”

The Argentinian website also highlighted that the preparation of the proposal took place within the framework of a democratic process and extensive internal consultations, enriched by international consultations.

Thanks to the Moroccan diplomacy’s tireless efforts, under the leadership of HM the King, the Kingdom has succeeded in garnering support within the African Union, among Arab countries, in continents such as America and Asia and, in recent years, from major powers such as the United States, France, Spain, Germany and Japan, among others,” wrote the Argentine’s media.

In Peru, the “La Razon” daily noted that “in a context marked by dialogue and the search for peaceful solutions to various international conflicts, the Kingdom of Morocco has once again received a valuable and energetic reaffirmation of international support for its national cause. This time, it was Denmark that announced its position on the sidelines of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.”

Thus, in a joint Moroccan-Danish communiqué, Copenhagen considers the autonomy plan to be “a serious and credible contribution” to the ongoing UN process, and a “good basis for an agreed solution between the parties.”

The Peruvian news website “Guik” pointed out that “the Danish support is part of the clear alignment of various European nations in favor of the Moroccan proposal, which seeks a lasting and mutually acceptable solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.”

It stressed that this international support momentum for the Moroccan autonomy plan has been reinforced in recent years, with a notable increase in the number of consulates opened by various countries in the main Moroccan Sahara cities of Laâyoune and Dakhla.

The news website of the Federation of Peruvian Journalists (fpp.org.pe) noted that these successive decisions “not only demonstrate recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara, but also testify to a broader international commitment to the autonomy plan, which offers a favorable framework for development and stability in the region.”

In Chile, the “ElPeriodista” news website also stated that “Denmark’s support further strengthens Morocco’s position on the international stage,” and stressed the need to reach “a political agreement by all parties, including Algeria, within the framework of the United Nations.”
