The Kingdom of Jordan is the third Arab country to open a Consulate General in Laâyoune
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has opened Thursday 04 March 2021 its Consulate General in City of Laâyoune, in the Moroccan Sahara.
The Jordanian General Consulate was inaugurated jointly by H.E.M Nasser Bourita, Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates and his counterpart from Jordan, H.E.M Ayman AL-Safadi, who is also Deputy Prime.
The Kingdom of Jordan is the third Arab country to open a Consulate General in Laâyoune, after the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain.
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan holds a special place in the Middle East and is one of the most important countries in the region. Its support to the Morocanity of the Sahara, through the opening of its Consulate General in Laâyoune, intervenes within a particular context marked by a growing international support for the Moroccan Initiative of Autonomy for the Sahara Region.
It expresses also the constant and historic solidarity of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan for the actions undertaken by Kingdom of Morocco in defense of its national interests.
The Kingdom of Jordan is one of the oldest supporters of the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco and was part of the countries that had participated to the Green March in November 1975 to express its solidarity with Morocco in its processes of recovery of all of its territory.
Now, with the opening of the Jordanian Consulate General, the Moroccan Sahara hosts 21 Consular representation (11 in Laâyoune and 10 in Dakhla).
The numerous opening of the Consulates General in the cities of Laâyoune and Dakhla, by different Countries from Africa, Asia, America (including the USA) and the Arab World is illustrating an irreversible reality of the reaffirmation of recognizing of the Moroccan territorial integrity, that was consolidated in December 2020 by the USA Decision to recognize the sovereignty of Morocco of Sahara. This process will indeed contribute to make the Moroccan Sahara an important economic development hub for the African continent.
