Denmark lauds the Moroccan autonomy plan as a good basis for a mutually agreed solution by all parties to the Moroccan Sahara issue.
This position was expressed by Denmark’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, in a statement to the press on Friday 4 September during a visit to Copenhagen by Nasser Bourita, Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates.
In this context, Rasmussen declared that
“Denmark lauds, in line with the European Union’s position, the adoption of UNSC Resolution 2797.”
The Danish head of diplomacy also praised the Moroccan autonomy proposal, calling it “credible” and noting that it “brings a serious and essential contribution to the ongoing UN process,” reiterating that the plan is a “good basis for a mutually agreed solution by all parties.”
Through this position, Denmark, a member of the UNSC, reaffirms that it is part of the international momentum created under the impetus of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, in support of Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara and the Moroccan autonomy plan.
Following his meeting in Copenhagen with Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita, Lars Løkke Rasmussen said that “Europe and Denmark need a reliable friend like Morocco”.
Speaking to the Danish press, Rasmussen said his meeting with Bourita produced positive results, which will be crowned by a strategic partnership agreement covering the political, security and economic dimensions, particularly issues related to climate and investment.
The agreement, he stressed, is expected to be concluded next December in Rabat, noting that the two countries are taking the necessary time to reach an agreement that will benefit both Morocco and Denmark, which will also establish a chamber of commerce.
