Guinea-Bissau Reaffirms Firm Support for Morocco’s Territorial Integrity & Sovereignty Over Entire Territory, Including Sahara

Rabat – Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, and Communities of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau Fatumata Jau reiterated on Monday in Rabat her country’s steadfast and unwavering position in support of Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over its entire territory, including the Sahara region.

In a statement to the press following her talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita, Jau also reaffirmed Guinea-Bissau’s full support for the autonomy plan presented by the Kingdom as the only credible and realistic solution to resolving this artificial dispute.

In this regard, she emphasized the importance of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau’s opening of a Consulate General in Dakhla in October 2020, a move that confirms the strength of the partnership between the two brotherly countries.

Jau noted that this opening falls in line with the international momentum spearheaded by His Majesty King Mohammed VI in support of the autonomy plan and Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara.

In the same vein, the Guinean-Bissau foreign minister welcomed the adoption of Security Council Resolution 2797, which establishes the Plan for Autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty as the basis for a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable solution to this dispute.
