Rabat – According to multiple reports, the United Kingdom is moving towards joining the list of global powers supporting Morocco’s sovereignty over its southern provinces, in a move that would strengthen the Kingdom’s diplomatic position on the international stage.
This British trend comes in the context of growing international recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara, as the United States announced its recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara in December 2020, followed by Spain in March 2022 with its support for the Moroccan autonomy proposal, and then France, which recently confirmed its support for the Moroccan position.
Sources indicate that the anticipated British recognition will open new horizons for economic cooperation between the two countries, particularly in the fields of renewable energy and infrastructure in the Kingdom’s southern provinces.
This diplomatic development reflects the success of the Royal vision in managing the Moroccan Sahara file, which is based on the autonomy proposal as a realistic and practical solution to the artificial conflict over the Moroccan Sahara.
