Germany's Commitment to Moroccan Autonomy
In a significant diplomatic move, Germany has reaffirmed its support for the concept of autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty concerning the ongoing Sahara issue. This commitment was articulated during the second session of the Morocco-Germany Multidimensional Strategic Dialogue, which took place in Rabat. The dialogue was led by Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and his German counterpart, Johann Wadephul, highlighting the importance of bilateral relations between the two nations.
The Federal Republic of Germany expressed its endorsement of UN Security Council Resolution 2797, adopted on October 31, 2025. This resolution underscores that genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty is a viable solution to the regional conflict surrounding the Moroccan Sahara. Germany emphasized the significance of the Autonomy Initiative proposed by Morocco, recognizing it as a serious and credible foundation for negotiations aimed at achieving a fair and lasting resolution to the dispute.
In the joint declaration issued after the dialogue, Germany reiterated its unwavering support for the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy, who are tasked with facilitating negotiations grounded in Morocco's autonomy plan. Furthermore, the declaration acknowledged Morocco's readiness to clarify the specifics of what autonomy under its sovereignty would entail, thereby fostering a better understanding of the proposal among involved parties.
Germany's commitment extends beyond mere verbal support; it pledged to align its diplomatic and economic actions with this stance, ensuring compliance with international law. This strategic alignment signifies a deepening partnership between Germany and Morocco, as both nations navigate the complexities of regional politics and seek to promote stability and cooperation.
