“🇫🇷🇲🇦 As President of the France–Morocco friendship group at the National Assembly, I welcome the UN Security Council’s decision recognizing the Moroccan autonomy plan as the main reference for settling the Western Sahara conflict. A major diplomatic advancement.”
French Parliamentary Context: Growing Support for the Moroccan Position

This position provides a boost to Moroccan diplomacy within the French Parliament, with anticipated increases in official visits and joint projects in the southern provinces. In the context of the 50th anniversary of the Green March, the statement highlights the importance of the “main reference” for autonomy in promoting regional stability, opening doors to broader European cooperation in development and investment.
This welcome reflects the accelerating French parliamentary support for the Moroccan solution, paving the way for a new phase of strategic partnership between Paris and Rabat.
