Denmark's Support for Moroccan Autonomy Plan
In a significant diplomatic development, Denmark has publicly endorsed Morocco's autonomy plan regarding the disputed Sahara region, describing it as a solid foundation for achieving a mutually agreed solution between all involved parties. This endorsement was articulated by Denmark's Foreign Affairs Minister, Mr. Lars Løkke Rasmussen, during a press conference held in Copenhagen, coinciding with the visit of Morocco's Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates Minister, Mr. Nasser Bourita. Minister Rasmussen emphasized that Denmark's position aligns with that of the European Union and reiterated the importance of adopting United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2797. He described the Moroccan autonomy proposal as "credible" and highlighted its vital contribution to the ongoing UN processes focused on resolving this long-standing issue.
Rasmussen's remarks not only underline Denmark's commitment to supporting Moroccan sovereignty over its Sahara region but also reflect a broader international momentum catalyzed by His Majesty King Mohammed VI. This momentum seeks to reinforce Morocco's stance and its proposed autonomy framework, which has been acknowledged as a constructive step towards peace and negotiations. Denmark’s backing serves as a significant affirmation of Morocco's efforts and intentions to bring about a resolution that honors the aspirations of all parties involved.
