In his annual report to the members of the Security Council on the Moroccan Sahara, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres reported the opening, on August 14, of Chad's Consulate General of Chad, the 29th of its kind in the Kingdom's southern provinces, which represents about 42% of the share of African countries.
This reference takes place in an international context where more than a hundred countries have expressed their support for the autonomy plan, proposed by Morocco, as the only solution for the settlement of the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.
For the third consecutive year, the Secretary-General's report underlined the continued momentum of opening Consulates General in the southern provinces of Morocco, highlighting not only the extent of international support for the Moroccanness of the Sahara, but also the attractiveness of the economic development undertaken by Morocco, encouraging the opening of these representations in this part of the Kingdom.
This diplomatic momentum, reflected in the Secretary-General's report to the members of the Security Council, strengthens and reinforces Morocco's position on the international scene, thus demonstrating that the Moroccan Sahara is increasingly establishing itself as a hub of development and stability in the Mediterranean, Atlantic and African regions.
