Chilean MPs voiced their support to Morocco in its “efforts to preserve its security and sovereignty,” following the Royal Armed Forces intervention in El Guerguarat to restore the free movement of goods and people with Mauritania.
In a letter of solidarity and support to the Kingdom addressed to Speaker of the House of Advisors, Hakim Benchamach, this position was expressed by the President of the Senate of Chile, Adriana Muñoz, the President of the Chile-Morocco friendship group, Guido Girardi, and by several former presidents and members of the Upper House of the Chilean Parliament.
Peace must be based on the principles of international law, which explains the necessity “to avoid attempts of destabilization orchestrated by elements of the polisario, such as the obstruction of the border crossing of El Guerguarat,” said the MPs, as quoted in a release by the House of Advisors.
President of the Chilean Senate and the signatories of the letter stressed that as parliamentarians “they firmly reject all actions aimed at destabilizing the region, jeopardizing peace and obstructing freedom of movement as they recognize the legitimate right of the Moroccan State to preserve its sovereignty and security as well as that of civilians.”
The House of Advisors and the Chilean senate are bound by a memorandum of understanding and cooperation signed on the occasion of the visit in July 2017, of a Moroccan parliamentary delegation led by Benchamach to the Republic of Chile.
The increasingly intense relations between the two legislative institutions are marked by joint initiatives and the exchange of visits, including to the Southern Provinces of the Kingdom to closely monitor the reality of the situation and the dynamics of development and human rights in this region.
