Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Murat Nurtleu, expressed, on Friday in Rabat, his country’s support for the Kingdom’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and for the Autonomy Plan presented by Morocco in 2007.
Kazakhstan expressed its support for “the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco and welcomed in this regard the Autonomy Plan presented by Morocco as serious and credible basis to reach through negotiations a political solution to the Sahara issue.”
Kazakhstan’s unequivocal support for the Autonomy Plan, within the framework of the Kingdom’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, is of particular significance, given the country’s importance and leading role in the Central Asian region. This significant support reinforces the Kingdom’s major achievements regarding its national cause, in line with the High Guidelines of His Majesty the King.
Kazakhstan thus joins the massive international support for the Autonomy Plan as the one and only solution to the regional dispute surrounding the Kingdom’s Southern Provinces.
The Kazakh Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, currently on an official visit to the Kingdom at the invitation of Bourita, underlined that the Republic of Kazakhstan “highly appreciates the efforts undertaken by the United Nations Secretary General and his Personal Envoy for the Sahara in accordance with the parameters defined in the relevant Security Council resolutions on the Sahara issue.”
Kazakhstan thus affirmed its support for the exclusively UN political process on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara, conducted in accordance with the resolutions of the Security Council.
The latest UN Security Council resolution on the Moroccan Sahara, 2756, adopted on 31/10/2024, reaffirmed the seriousness and credibility of the Autonomy Initiative, confirmed the parameters of the political, realistic, pragmatic, lasting and compromise solution to the artificial dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, and promoted the round-table setting as the sole framework for conducting the UN political process.
