Paraguayan Senate supports Morocco’s territorial integrity

The Senate of Paraguay has voiced its unequivocal support to Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, and called on the Paraguayan government to adopt the same stance.

In a resolution adopted this week by the Senate’s plenary session, the legislative institution expressed its support for a peaceful, negotiated solution to the Sahara issue, and voiced confidence that the autonomy initiative is the only basis for achieving a peaceful, just, lasting, and mutually acceptable solution, in respect of Morocco’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

This resolution is particularly significant because the Senate, in addition to supporting Morocco, is urging the Paraguayan government to adopt the same stance.

The Senators are thus urging that this position be translated into official communiqués and explicit support for Morocco in all international forums.

This reflects the Senate’s strong desire to see the Paraguayan government reinforce its support for the Kingdom’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, both bilaterally and in international fora.

With this historic resolution, the Senate of Paraguay has taken a decisive step in support of Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. This unequivocal support strengthens the deep ties of friendship and cooperation between Paraguay and Morocco.

By aligning Paraguay with a growing international trend that sees the autonomy plan, under Moroccan sovereignty, as a solid path towards the final settlement of this regional conflict, this resolution helps to consolidate a climate of peace and stability in the region.

Since the Moroccan Embassy was opened in Asuncion in November 2016, the Chamber of Deputies of Paraguay has adopted seven resolutions in Morocco’s favor, five of which on the Sahara issue, but this is the first time that the country’s Senate has adopted a resolution on Morocco.

The text of the resolution was transmitted to the President of Paraguay, Santiago Pena and to Morocco’s ambassador in Asuncion, Badreddine Abdelmoumni.
