The Republic of Panama considers the initiative of autonomy as “the most serious, credible and realistic base for the resolution of the regional dispute” around the Moroccan Sahara.
This position was expressed in a joint statement signed on Monday in Rabat, after the meeting between the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans living abroad, Nasser Bourita and the Minister of External Relations of the Republic of Panama, Javier Martínez-Acha Vásquez, in working visit to the kingdom, on June 16.
The Panamanian Minister specified, in addition, during the press briefing held at the end of the meeting, that the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco in 2007 “should be the only solution in the future”, emphasizing the clear support of his country on the initiative of autonomy to progress towards a lasting agreement on this dispute.
Panama’s support on the autonomy initiative presented by the Kingdom to resolve the dispute around the Moroccan Sahara comes following the decision of this country to break all relations with the pseudo “RASD” in November 2024.
In the same joint press release, the kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of Panama stressed their attachment to the sacredness of the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity.
