The United States reaffirmed on Tuesday its support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative as a “serious, credible, and realistic” solution to the regional dispute over the Sahara.

“The United States continues to view Morocco’s Autonomy Proposal as serious, credible, and realistic,” stated the spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State in a press release issued following the meeting held on Tuesday in Washington, D.C. between the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Both parties also expressed their “support” for the personal envoy of the UN Secretary-General, Staffan de Mistura, in leading the political process regarding the Sahara, under the auspices of the United Nations, to reach a lasting political solution “without further delay.”
