Denmark Announces Support for Moroccan Autonomy Plan in Moroccan Sahara

In a significant diplomatic move, the Kingdom of Denmark has announced its new position supporting Morocco’s 2007 autonomy initiative as a solution to the Western Sahara issue. This position was declared during a meeting between Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and his Danish counterpart, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, on the sidelines of the high-level week of the 79th United Nations General Assembly session in New York.

Denmark affirmed that it considers the Moroccan autonomy plan a serious and credible contribution, as well as a good basis for reaching a solution to the conflict. The country also expressed its support for the principle of autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty, marking an important development in the Danish stance on this issue.

This statement adds new momentum to Morocco’s diplomatic efforts aimed at gaining international support for its autonomy proposal in Western Sahara. The Danish position is seen as a positive step that enhances the chances of reaching a lasting and fair political solution to the conflict, one that enjoys the support of the international community.

This Danish support is expected to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries and open new horizons for cooperation in various fields. It may also encourage other countries to reconsider their positions and adopt a more positive approach towards the Moroccan initiative.

It is worth noting that this development comes in the context of growing international support for the Moroccan autonomy proposal, which is gaining increasing recognition as a realistic and practical solution to end this long-standing regional dispute.
