This stance was expressed in a joint communiqué issued at the end of the third session of the Joint Commission for Morocco-Gambia Cooperation, co-chaired by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, and the Gambian Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, and Gambians Abroad, Mamadou Tangara.
In this joint communiqué, the Gambian foreign minister reiterated his country’s unwavering support for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco.
Recalling the opening of a Gambian Consulate General in Dakhla in January 2020, Tangara also reaffirmed his country’s support for the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative, presented by the Kingdom in 2007, which represents the only credible and realistic solution for resolving this dispute.
In this regard, he expressed the firm support of the Republic of The Gambia for the search for a lasting solution that preserves the territorial integrity, unity, and sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco, under the exclusive auspices of the United Nations.
