Full Text of the Paraguayan Ministry of Foreign Affairs Statement

“Paraguay expresses its satisfaction with the United Nations Security Council’s decision that supports Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara.
It considers this autonomy plan, which values the decisions of the population, to be the path to begin resolving half a century of tensions in the region. 🇵🇾 🇲🇦”

Diplomatic Context: Growing Support for the Moroccan Position

This Paraguayan stance follows the resolution’s adoption with 12 affirmative votes, against abstentions from Russia and Mozambique without a veto, further bolstering international recognition of the autonomy plan as the “most viable” solution. Paraguay had previously announced the opening of a general consulate in Dakhla in September 2023 and explicitly affirmed its support for Moroccan sovereignty in July 2024, placing it among over 100 countries endorsing the Moroccan initiative. This statement is viewed as an additional boost to Moroccan diplomacy, particularly in Latin America, where enhanced economic and trade cooperation with the southern provinces is anticipated.

Regional and International Implications

This Paraguayan support is part of a growing wave of international recognitions, contributing to the isolation of parties opposing Moroccan territorial integrity. In the context of the 50th anniversary of the Green March, the statement highlights the importance of autonomy as a tool to “value the decisions of the population,” thereby promoting local development and regional stability. It also opens doors to new partnerships in agriculture and renewable energy between the two nations.

This declaration reflects the accelerating international consensus around the Moroccan solution, paving the way for the “international resolution phase” as described by His Majesty King Mohammed VI in his Royal Address.
