EU Backs Morocco Autonomy Plan for Western Sahara and Eyes New Partnership
Kaja Kallas said the autonomy plan is a realistic basis for settlement as the EU and Morocco seek a partnership covering trade and security.
- On Thursday in Rabat, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita agreed to deepen their strategic partnership, with Kallas describing Morocco as a "close, reliable, and strategic partner."
- The EU aligned with Morocco's proposal to grant limited self-rule to Western Sahara, following a similar move by the United Nations Security Council last October.
- Plans for a €15 billion rail tunnel beneath the Strait of Gibraltar are nearing completion as Brussels and Rabat seek a comprehensive partnership covering trade, investment, and migration later this year.
- Bourita welcomed the EU's position as a "strong signal" ahead of the United Nations Security Council meeting on 23-24 April, where the UN mission for Western Sahara, MINURSO, is due for discussion.
- Recent talks facilitated by the United States have encouraged progress in the region, while a Senate bill launched in March seeks to designate the Polisario Front as a terrorist group.
