Marrakech – The European Union officially adopted a unified position supporting Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara during the 15th EU-Morocco Association Council session concluded Thursday in Brussels. The 27 EU member states agreed that “genuine autonomy could represent one of the most realistic solutions” for the definitive settlement of the artificial dispute. Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita and EU High Representative Kaja Kallas signed a joint communiqué formalizing this breakthrough stance, widely seen as another victory for Rabat’s diplomacy. This royal guidance has shaped Morocco’s diplomatic strategy in consolidating international consensus. This diplomatic engagement contributed to enriching the Mediterranean Pact launched in Barcelona on November 28, 2025.
