The High Commission for Former Resistance Fighters and Former Members of the Liberation Army organized a meeting in Rabat on Tuesday to commemorate the 71st anniversary of the Revolution of the King and the People.

According to a press release issued today by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic, during the audience granted to him by the President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, was asked to convey to His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, "the Dominican Republic’s firm support for Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara and its intention to consider, as a priority in future expansion plans, the opening of a consulate in the city of Dakhla."

Morocco's permanent representative to the UN, Ambassador Omar Hilale, sent a response letter to the President and members of the Security Council following the provocative and misleading statement of the Secretary General of the ministry of Foreign Affairs of Algeria regarding the Moroccan Sahara issue during a meeting of the Council, stressing that the Algerian delegate, as usual, gave free rein to his country's Moroccan-phobia and its unhealthy obsession with the Moroccan Sahara.

On Wednesday August 14, 2024, the Moroccan people will commemorate the 45th anniversary of the recovery of the Dakhla Oued Eddahab region, a milestone in the process of achieving the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco.

France’s support to Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara is a “true diplomatic turning point,” said French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs (IRIS) director, Pascal Boniface.
