The adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797, dedicated to the Moroccan Sahara, marks a significant milestone and the culmination of diplomatic efforts led by the enlightened guidance of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. This was stated by Robert Satloff, Executive Director of the prestigious American think tank, The Washington Institute.

In an interview with the MAP, Mr. Satloff praised the “impressive achievement,” resulting from a strategic endeavor spearheaded by the Sovereign and supported by all political, economic, and diplomatic institutions of the Kingdom.

According to the American expert, this historic resolution, which establishes the Moroccan autonomy initiative as the exclusive basis for any sustainable solution, represents “a clear endorsement of Morocco’s approach” in managing the regional dispute concerning the Sahara.

He emphasized that this outcome constitutes “a major breakthrough for Morocco,” reflecting years of targeted efforts to strengthen international support, capital by capital. This progress also highlights the deeply entrenched strategic partnership between Morocco and the United States, the penholder of the resolution and a key player within the Security Council.

Mr. Satloff also underscored the colossal investments made by the Kingdom in the Southern Provinces, whether in infrastructure, major projects, or socio-economic development programs. These initiatives illustrate Morocco’s strong commitment to transforming this region into a dynamic and integrated hub.

Having visited the city of Dakhla, the expert remarked on the extent of the progress made: “The visible investments on the ground demonstrate that this is not merely a political issue. This region is destined to fully integrate into the Moroccan economy and society.”

He concluded that this development momentum, combined with the major diplomatic advance represented by Resolution 2797, further strengthens Morocco’s position on the international stage and consolidates its approach towards a definitive solution to the Sahara dispute.
