Sahara: Prague Supports Morocco’s Autonomy Plan

The government of the Czech Republic has voiced support to the Autonomy plan offered by Morocco for the Sahara under its sovereignty, describing the plan as “serious and credible” and offering a “good basis” for reaching a mutually acceptable solution to the Sahara regional conflict.

The supportive stand comes in the Joint Declaration signed on Thursday in Prague by Moroccan foreign minister Nasser Bourita and Czech peer Jan Lipavský.

The two ministers also reaffirmed full support to the efforts engaged by UN Sahara Envoy Staffan de Mistura to advance the UN-led political process based on the UN Security Council resolutions.

In their joint statement, the two countries’ top diplomats stressed the importance of strengthening further partnership, dialogue and bilateral cooperation in all fields.

They hailed in this regard the growth in trading between the two countries and the investments made by Czech companies in the North African Kingdom.
