Sweden has expressed support for Morocco’s Autonomy Plan, describing it as a credible basis for negotiations to achieve a lasting solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.

The position was outlined in an official statement issued by the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs following a telephone conversation on Monday between Sweden’s Foreign Minister, Maria Malmer Stenengard, and Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita.

According to the statement, Sweden’s support is anchored in the recently adopted United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797.

With this declaration, Sweden joins the majority of European Union member states and more than two-thirds of United Nations member countries in backing Morocco’s autonomy initiative.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797, adopted on October 31, 2025, affirms that genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty represents the most feasible path toward resolving the long-running dispute.
