“The present and future of Western Sahara lie within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty”. More than a solemn expression of political intent, France's position in support of the Moroccan character of the Sahara has become the doctrine of its diplomacy, which it actively defends and upholds on the global stage.

Jacob Zuma, former President of South Africa and leader of the Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) party, stated that his party believes Morocco’s Autonomy Proposal allows for significant local governance by the populations of the Sahara region, while ensuring that Morocco retains its sovereignty over the Sahara.

Morocco is one of the United Kingdom’s oldest allies and a key partner on a range of issues related to both British and global security, said Sir Liam Fox, former UK Secretary of State for Defense and International Trade, on Monday.

A delegation from the French city of Dreux visited Dakhla on Wednesday to explore economic potential, major development projects, and partnership opportunities in the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region, following the recent signing of a friendship pact between the two cities.

The international momentum driven over the years by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, in favor of the Moroccan Sahara and in support of the autonomy Initiative continues to grow, reflecting the international community's consensus on the need to put an end to this regional dispute, within the framework of the Kingdom's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
