Leading British newspapers gave extensive coverage on Monday to the UK government’s landmark decision to support Morocco's autonomy plan aimed at resolving the regional conflict over its territorial integrity.

The support expressed by the United Kingdom for Morocco's autonomy plan for the Sahara heralds a new era of strengthened and mutually beneficial partnership between Rabat and London, said Joe Powell, a Labour member of the House of Commons (the lower house of the British Parliament).

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rachid Talbi Alami, held, on Monday in Rabat, talks with a British parliamentary delegation from the House of Commons and the House of Lords, providing an opportunity to express thanks and appreciation for the UK’s position towards the autonomy proposal as “the most credible, realistic, and pragmatic basis for a lasting solution to the conflict and the consolidation of stability in North Africa.”

The Commonwealth of Dominica reaffirmed, before the United Nations Committee of 24 (C-24), its “full support” for Morocco's Autonomy plan for the Sahara, deeming it “the compromise solution” to the regional dispute.

The position expressed by the United Kingdom regarding the Moroccan Sahara will help reinforce the momentum this issue has gained under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, stated Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, on Sunday in Rabat.
