Morocco's proposal for autonomy in the contested Sahara region saw growing global support during the 81st United Nations General Assembly session in New York. High-level talks led by Morocco's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, resulted in endorsements from Mauritius, Jamaica, and Chile. Mauritius formally altered its policy following the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2797, with Foreign Minister Dhananjay Ramful stating that autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty was now the most credible solution.
Jamaica reached a similar conclusion, welcoming the UN resolution and endorsing autonomy under Moroccan rule as the most feasible path forward. Both countries pledged to enhance political dialogue and cooperation. Chile, meanwhile, reaffirmed its recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over the entire Sahara territory, describing the 2007 autonomy plan as the just and lasting solution.
Chile also committed to bolstering economic ties, signing terms of reference to initiate free trade agreement negotiations.
