As part of the international momentum created under the impetus of His Majesty King Mohammed VI in support of Morocco's sovereignty over its Sahara and the Autonomy Plan, Hungary expresses its support for the Kingdom's efforts to resolve the Sahara issue and backs the Autonomy Plan, presented in 2007, as “the most credible basis” to resolve this dispute.

His Majesty King Mohammed VI sent a message of thanks to the President of the Republic of Panama, H.E. Mr. José Raúl Mulino Quintero, following his country’s wise decision regarding the Kingdom’s first National Cause.

The United States reaffirms its support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative as a serious, credible, and realistic solution to the issue of the Moroccan Sahara, said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, Barbara Leaf, on Friday in Rabat.

The Republic of Panama decided on Thursday to suspend its diplomatic relations with the so-called 'sadr'.

The autonomy plan for the Sahara presented by Morocco is based on the principles of dialogue and international law and should contribute to the well-being of the populations concerned, said Romenio Pereira, secretary for international relations of the Workers' Party (PT), the political party of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
