Guatemala reaffirmed, Monday in New York, its support for the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Morocco, as well as the autonomy initiative as a definitive solution to the regional dispute around the Moroccan Sahara.
Speaking before the 4th Committee of the UN General Assembly, the deputy permanent representative of Guatemala to the UN, María José Castillo, stressed that her country “considers that the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco in 2007 constitutes a realistic, credible and serious basis for reaching a negotiated solution between the parties, while respecting the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of Morocco.
She also reiterated Guatemala’s support for the Kingdom’s efforts to achieve a peaceful and lasting political solution to this regional conflict.
Welcoming the efforts of the UN Secretary General and his Personal Envoy for the Moroccan Sahara in favor of a realistic, pragmatic, lasting political solution based on compromise, the Guatemalan diplomat considered “important” the resumption of the process of round tables in the same format and with the same four participants, namely Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania and the “Polisario”.
She further indicated that the resolution of this artificial conflict is necessary for the stability, security and integration of the Maghreb region.
