Denmark expressed its support for Morocco’s 2007 Autonomy Plan, describing it as a “serious and credible contribution” to the ongoing UN-led process and a solid foundation for a mutually agreeable solution among all parties.
This endorsement was part of a joint statement issued following discussions in New York on Wednesday between Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, and Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen. The talks took place on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly. The statement, as reported by the Moroccan Press Agency, reiterated that “the autonomy plan presented by Morocco in 2007 is a serious and credible contribution to the ongoing UN process and a solid foundation for a mutually agreeable solution among all parties.”
Both countries reaffirmed their support for the UN-led process and for the efforts of the UN Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy for Western Sahara, Staffan de Mistura, in seeking a peaceful resolution acceptable to all involved, in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions.
Denmark’s stance aligns with the broader international support led by King Mohammed VI of Morocco, advocating for the Autonomy Plan and reinforcing Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara. This position also reflects the prevailing trend across Europe and the continent as a whole.
