“I reiterate Iraq’s consistent position on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara and its support for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco,” Iraqi Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein said at a joint press conference with Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad Nasser Bourita, held after their talks in Baghdad.
He added that Iraq stands with Morocco on the issue of its national territorial integrity.
Likewise, the head of Iraqi diplomacy affirmed Iraq’s support for the United Nations efforts aimed at reaching a definitive solution to this conflict, noting that his country supports the UN resolutions on this subject.
Furthermore, Mr. Hussein stressed the importance of resorting to peaceful means through negotiations to resolve this dispute, while preserving the territorial integrity of Morocco and ensuring security and stability in the Maghreb region.
The two countries had issued a Joint Declaration during the official visit of the Iraqi Minister of Foreign Affairs to Morocco on May 13, 2022, in which Iraq affirmed its “support for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom and the efforts of the UN and its central role in achieving a political solution.”
For its part, Morocco has spared no effort during the various stages of the political process in Iraq to provide its support and assistance to the Iraqi people in their efforts to establish democratic institutions representative of all its components and contribute to the reconstruction of a unified, democratic Iraq open to its Arab environment.
