Denmark officially supports autonomy plan

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Living Abroad, Nasser Bourita, met on Wednesday in New York with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

In the joint communiqué adopted at the end of this meeting, Denmark “considers the Autonomy Plan presented by Morocco in 2007 as a serious and credible contribution to the ongoing UN process and as a good basis for a solution agreed between the parties.

In this joint statement, the two ministers reaffirmed their support for the process led by the United Nations and for the personal envoy of the UN Secretary-General for Western Sahara, Staffan de Mistura, as well as his efforts to achieve a peaceful and mutually acceptable solution to the conflict, in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions.

This new position of Denmark is part of the international dynamic driven by King Mohammed VI, in support of the autonomy plan and the sovereignty of Morocco over its Sahara. It confirms a basic trend in Europe, in all regions of the continent.
