United Nations (New York) –  The countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) reaffirmed, Friday in New York, their “constant support for the Moroccanity of the Sahara” and the “Moroccan autonomy initiative to resolve” the regional dispute around the Moroccan Sahara.

Speaking on behalf of the GCC countries during a meeting of the 4th Commission of the United Nations, the representative of Bahrain welcomed the adoption of Security Council resolution 2797 which “adopts the Moroccan autonomy initiative as a decisive turning point towards a realistic, viable and lasting solution” to this artificial dispute.

The GCC countries also reiterate their support for the efforts carried out under the aegis of the United Nations to reach a definitive solution to this dispute “that respects the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco and its territorial integrity,” the diplomat said.
