The State of the United Arab Emirates has reaffirmed, before the UN Security Council, its constant support for Morocco, its sovereignty over the whole of the Sahara, and its territorial integrity.

Morocco welcomes the adoption, Monday, by the UN Security Council of resolution 2703 relating to the Moroccan Sahara, which comes in "a context marked by the ongoing positive momentum experienced by the issue, under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him", the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates said.

The United States on Monday reaffirmed, at the UN Security Council, its support for Morocco’s autonomy plan as a “serious, credible and realistic” approach to settle the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.

The United Nations Security Council on Monday decided to extend the mandate of MINURSO for one year, while enshrining, once again, the preeminence of the Moroccan autonomy initiative to settle the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.

The number of European Union member countries that appreciate and support the autonomy plan has risen to 14 following the position expressed on Thursday by the Czech Republic, thanks to the impetus of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, said the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita.
