Grenada reiterated Monday its support for the autonomy plan presented by Morocco as a "viable" proposal for the settlement of the Sahara conflict, welcoming the development efforts undertaken by the Kingdom in its southern provinces in various fields.

The Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) reaffirmed, Monday before the 4th Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, its "strong support" to the UN efforts aimed at reaching "a fair, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution" to the Sahara issue.

Morocco's autonomy plan has the merit of transcending traditional positions and meeting international standards for the delegation of authority to local populations, Guinea pointed out Monday before the 4th Committee of the General Assembly of the United Nations.

In his report to the Security Council on the Moroccan Sahara, the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres noted that his Personal Envoy for the Sahara, Mr. Horst Köhler, "met with local elected representatives" of southern provinces in Morocco during his tour in June 2018, thus recognizing the legitimacy of these elected and local officials as the only democratically elected representatives of the region.

Gabon reaffirmed, on Monday at the UN General Assembly, that the Moroccan initiative of autonomy is an ideal framework to reach a solution of compromise that is acceptable to all parties to the conflict over the Moroccan Sahara.
