In a significant diplomatic engagement, Greek Foreign Minister Georgios Gerapetritis articulated Greece's unwavering support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative during recent discussions in Athens with Nasser Bourita, Morocco's Foreign Minister responsible for African Cooperation and Moroccans Living Abroad. This meeting, which underscores the strengthening ties between Greece and Morocco, highlights Greece's alignment with the broader European consensus regarding the Sahara conflict.
Gerapetritis clearly stated that Greece, echoing the common European position, supports the endeavors of the UN Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy in facilitating negotiations centered on Morocco's autonomy proposal. The aim is to achieve a solution that is not only just and lasting but also acceptable to all involved parties. This commitment is particularly noteworthy given Greece’s role as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the 2025–2026 term, where it can actively influence discussions and outcomes related to this longstanding issue.
The Greek Foreign Minister also welcomed the adoption of Security Council Resolution No. 2797, which he believes provides a new direction for the United Nations' approach to the Sahara conflict. This endorsement reflects a growing trend among European and international stakeholders who recognize the Moroccan proposal as a viable foundation for negotiations, thereby enhancing its prominence in UN discussions as critical dates related to the conflict approach in October.
