King Mohammed VI’s speech on Friday at the opening of the parliament’s autumn session illustrates the Sovereign’s clear vision on the Moroccan Sahara issue, said the Presiding Officer of the African Union’s (AU) Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC), Khalid Boudali.
The Royal Speech is part of the continuity of the Kingdom’s foreign policy, in line with the Sovereign’s enlightened vision marked by firmness, legitimacy and proactive action, and aimed at strengthening Morocco’s position both on the international stage and before multilateral institutions, namely the United Nations, Boudali noted in a statement to MAP.
The AU official emphasized the King’s actions in defending Morocco’s legitimate historical rights over its Sahara, showcasing the validity of the nation’s primary cause. According to him, this strategy is grounded not only on historical, political and legal evidence, but also in robust national mobilization around this cause.
Boudali pointed out that France’s support for Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara, alongside its endorsement of the Kingdom’s autonomy initiative are a major breakthrough in international support for the Kingdom’s territorial integrity. The support of France, a permanent UN security council member, lends fresh impetus to help reach a lasting solution to this artificial regional conflict, he carried out.
He further asserted that other influential members of the Security Council, such as the United States and several Arab and African countries, which have backed Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara and opened consulates in Laayoune and Dakhla, are further enhancing Morocco’s international stature.
This backing is part of a diplomatic dynamic seeking to widen the support for the autonomy proposal under Moroccan sovereignty, as the only credible basis for a definitive settlement of the conflict, he added, recalling that the King had also praised European countries, Spain notably, whose historic political position is of crucial importance.
