Kenya considers the Moroccan Autonomy Plan as the only sustainable approach to resolving the Sahara issue and praises the growing international consensus and the efforts led by His Majesty the King in favor of this plan.
Kenya's official position was expressed in a Joint Statement released on Monday in Rabat, following a meeting between the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, and the Kenyan Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Musalia Mudavadi.
In the Joint Statement, Kenya "considers the autonomy plan as the only sustainable approach to resolving the Sahara issue and intends to cooperate with states that share the same vision to promote its implementation."
In this context, "The Republic of Kenya welcomes the growing international consensus and the momentum led by His Majesty King Mohammed VI in favor of the autonomy plan presented by the Kingdom of Morocco as the only credible and realistic solution to resolve the Sahara dispute," the Statement continues.
The two high-ranking officials emphasized "the exclusivity of the United Nations in the political process and reaffirmed their support for United Nations Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 2756 (2024)."
Finally, the Kingdom of Morocco, the Statement highlights, "appreciates Kenya's recognition of Morocco's continued cooperation with the United Nations Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy to advance the political process based on the relevant Security Council resolutions."
