“By thanking France and President emmanuel Macron in a speech as solemn as that of teh opening of the autumn session of Parliament, for having supported the sovereignty of Morocco over the entire territory of the Sahara, His Majesty the King underlines the importance of this alignment because France’s position, as a permanent member of the Security Council, confers additional international legitimacy to Moroccan sovereignty, and reinforces the efforts deployed for a definitive settlement of the Moroccan Sahara question “, has explained the French political scientist in a statement to MAP.
This progress, he said, “perfectly responds to the aspirations of His Majesty the King, who was able to lay the foundations of an exceptional partnership with France, offering this relationship a renewed dimension.”
Perceived from a geopolitical angle, this development, explained Mr. Hamadé,“goes beyond just political considerations,by integrating the Moroccan Sahara into vast economic and strategic projects,such as the Morocco-Nigeria gas pipeline or the Atlantic initiatives. “.
“These joint actions, based on mutual respect and a common vision of regional security and stability, represent a true sacred union between the two countries,” noted the president of the International Institute for Geopolitical Studies, estimating that Together, the two countries “create a model of balanced cooperation in the face of global security and economic challenges, laying the foundations for shared prosperity for decades to come.”
