Gabon reaffirmed Friday its support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative as the only basis for a just and lasting solution to the Sahara regional conflict.

The Moroccan autonomy initiative in the Sahara is the only "credible" and "salutary" outcome for peace and stability in the region, said Friday Comoros Foreign Minister, Dhoihir Dhoulkamal.

Minister of National Territorial Planning, Housing and City Policy Nouzha Bouchareb announced Monday in Laâyoune that her department is determined to rebalance its interventions in 2021 to give priority in its programs to the Southern Provinces.

Participants in the Ministerial Conference in Support of the Autonomy Initiative under Morocco's Sovereignty, held virtually on Friday, stressed that the broad international support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative paves the way for a new era of peace and prosperity for the entire region.

Head of Government, Saad Eddine El Othmani, underlined on Thursday that Morocco has made important strategic achievements in its southern provinces.
