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.

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.

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 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.

Morocco reiterated its position before the Peace and Security Council (PSC) of the African Union (AU) in Addis Ababa on Friday, highlighting the connections between terrorists and other criminal groups, separatists, and various entities associated with transnational organized crime.
