Somalia reiterated on Friday its support for Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over its entire territory, welcoming the adoption of Resolution 2797 by the UN Security Council.

During a bilateral meeting held in Rabat with Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Somalia Abdisalam Abdi Ali reaffirmed his country’s steadfast stance in favour of Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over its entire territory.

In a Joint Communiqué inked following talks between the two ministers, Abdi Ali noted with deep satisfaction the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2797, which enshrines the autonomy plan presented by the Kingdom, within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty, as the basis for a just, lasting resolution for a final solution.
