Jamaica’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kamina Johnson Smith, expressed satisfaction on Wednesday in New York regarding the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797. The resolution strongly backed UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy in pursuing negotiations, emphasizing that Morocco’s Autonomy Plan could serve as a basis and that genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty might be a viable option.
This stance was outlined in a joint statement co-signed by Johnson Smith and Nasser Bourita, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates. The statement was made following discussions off the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly.

During their meeting, Bourita and Johnson Smith agreed to continue political dialogues between Morocco and Jamaica and to synchronize their stances on matters of mutual concern.
