As part of the growing international momentum supporting Morocco's sovereignty over its Sahara and the Kingdom's autonomy initiative, Slovakia has recognized the Moroccan proposal, submitted to the UN Secretary-General on April 11, 2007, as a serious and credible basis for a final resolution under United Nations auspices. This position was outlined in a joint declaration signed on Thursday in Rabat, following a meeting between Morocco's Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, and Slovakia's Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, Juraj Blanár. The joint declaration stated: «Slovakia welcomes the serious and credible Moroccan efforts to move the political process forward towards resolution and supports reaching a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution, based on compromise, consistent with the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations, within the framework of all relevant resolutions adopted by the United Nations Security Council, including the most recent resolution S/RES/2756 of October 31st, 2024». With this new and reinforced stance, Slovakia joins the growing number of countries backing Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara and its autonomy initiative, which continues to gain international recognition and support.
