Iraq has reiterated its unwavering support for Morocco’s territorial integrity, praising the growing international backing for the autonomy plan as a viable solution to the Moroccan Sahara dispute.

During a joint press briefing in Rabat on Saturday, Iraq’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Fuad Hussein, reaffirmed this stance following discussions with Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita.

This official position was also emphasized in a joint communiqué issued by both parties.

Hussein commended Morocco’s efforts in seeking a realistic and consensus-based political resolution to the dispute, in line with relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions.
