The United Kingdom Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, reaffirmed on Thursday her country’s position regarding the Moroccan Sahara issue, renewing British support for the autonomy plan presented by Morocco as “the most credible, viable, and pragmatic basis for peace in the Sahara.”
In statements issued after her meeting with the Morocco’s Foreign Minister, Nasser Bourita, during his visit to London, Cooper reaffirmed the UK’s position on the Sahara issue, renewing backing for Morocco’s proposal as a constructive framework for resolving the long-standing dispute. This position was expressed following the latest Morocco-UK Strategic Dialogue, held in Rabat on June 1, 2025.
The joint statement also emphasized the need for the parties to engage urgently and positively in the political process conducted under the auspices of the United Nations.
London indicated that, in accordance with this position, it will continue its actions at various bilateral, regional, and international levels in order to reinforce its diplomatic engagement in favor of a negotiated solution.
Beyond the Sahara issue, the United Kingdom Foreign Secretary also welcomed the excellent bilateral relations, highlighting that “the partnership with the Kingdom of Morocco is a source of great value for the peoples of both countries, particularly through the cooperation opportunities linked to the 2030 World Cup.”

Northing only propaganda from the most propaganda known Agency of morroco “hespress”…you continue bringing to Hungary lies articles produced in morroco without any utility. The title is in contraction of the content which in another proof of the morrocan lies….your imported article mentionned “a negociated solution” so this means that the Sahrawi population has to say their views and negociate their destiny within the UN résolutions…These résolutions reaffirmed continiously their right for self determination….why morroco is afraid of referendum of self determination if he is sûr that the western sahara is morrocan???? Dear reader, ask your mind a logical questions and you will find that morroco is the occupier and tries to steal the land and the ressources of wastern sahara by collecting recognition which will not change the nature if the issue within the UN system : western Sahara is an issue of decolonization and remains among 17 territories that has the legitimate right to self determination. Nobody has this right except the Sahrawi population itself.
