Peruvian Leadership Affirms Support for Moroccan Sovereignty
In a significant diplomatic gesture, the newly elected Peruvian government has declared its support for Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara region. This announcement was made on July 14, 2026, following a meeting between Keiko Fujimori, the newly elected president of Peru, and Amin Chaoudri, the Moroccan ambassador to Peru. The meeting served as a platform for the ambassador to convey a congratulatory message from King Mohammed VI to Fujimori after her election victory.
During the discussions, Fujimori emphasized her government's commitment to uphold the territorial integrity of Morocco and its authority over the southern provinces. This stance is aligned with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797, which acknowledges Morocco's autonomy proposal as a foundation for negotiations aimed at resolving the Sahara conflict. Fujimori's support reflects a broader intention to foster strong bilateral relations between Peru and Morocco, aiming to enhance cooperation across various sectors.
In her congratulatory message, King Mohammed VI expressed appreciation for the trust placed in Fujimori by the Peruvian electorate and conveyed his desire to collaborate closely with her administration to elevate the relationship between the two nations to a "multidimensional partnership". This partnership is envisioned to benefit both Moroccan and Peruvian populations, highlighting mutual interests and shared goals.
The implications of this support are profound, as Fujimori prepares to take office for the term spanning 2026 to 2031, where her administration's foreign policy is expected to reflect this commitment. As Peru strengthens its diplomatic ties with Morocco, it opens avenues for economic and cultural exchanges that could enrich both countries.
