Colombia announced a shift in its position on the Sahara issue and affirmed its recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over its Southern Provinces.
This new position was announced on Friday during a meeting held between Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita, and Colombia’s Vice-President José Manuel Restrepo.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Omar Bula Escobar, who attended the meeting affirmed that Colombia “recognizes Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara,” enshrining a new orientation for Colombia’s position on this issue.
Bourita described Colombia’s decision to withdraw its recognition of the pseudo ‘SADR’ and recognize Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara as “historic,” stressing that it could give “great momentum” to bilateral ties.
He pointed out that Morocco and Colombia could represent economic platforms for each other by taking advantage of their respective positions in Africa and in Latin America.
