Hungary has expressed support for Morocco's efforts to resolve the Sahara issue, backing the autonomy plan presented in 2007, and calling it «the most credible basis» for resolving this dispute. This position was expressed by Hungary in a joint communiqué signed at the end of a meeting in Rabat on Wednesday between the Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita, and his Hungarian counterpart Péter Szijjártó. In this regard, the two ministers «reaffirmed their support for the political process led by the United Nations and for the efforts of the UN Secretary-General to find a solution to the Sahara question, in accordance with the resolutions of the Security Council». Morocco and Hungary underline «their positive and constructive roles in maintaining stability, security, and peace in their respective regions», and note «their commitment to these principles, as well as to the peaceful resolution of conflicts and respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of States», reads the joint communiqué. Hungary's new, strengthened position reinforces the recently created momentum, which the latest UN Security Council resolution welcomes and urges to be built upon.
