British Foreign Secretary David Lammy reiterated on Tuesday his country’s support for Morocco’s autonomy plan, describing it as “the most credible, viable, and pragmatic basis for a solution to the conflict” over the Sahara issue.
“During my visit to Morocco, I announced the United Kingdom’s support for the autonomy proposal presented by Morocco, considering it the most credible, viable, and pragmatic basis for a solution to the conflict,” he said in a statement to the House of Commons, the lower house of Westminster Parliament.
The head of British diplomacy noted in this context that “as we approach the 50th anniversary of the conflict, and with renewed international engagement, we have an opportunity to move things forward in this conflict.”
The official emphasized the great importance the United Kingdom places on strengthening its cooperative relations with Morocco, stressing that the UK and Morocco “are long-standing partners, collaborating on various shared priorities.”
In this regard, he pointed out that Rabat and London are working to reinforce this partnership “to promote our common goals in terms of security, prosperity, and sustainable development.” Lammy took the opportunity to remind members of the House of Commons of the announcement made during his visit to Rabat regarding the conclusion of a series of partnership agreements with Morocco in various sectors.
He further stated that the two countries have also agreed to cooperate more closely on migration and counterterrorism, as well as in the areas of water management and climate change.
