The State of Kuwait renewed its support to the Moroccan initiative for self-rule in the Sahara, reiterating the need to respect Moroccan sovereignty and any solution agreed upon by all parties involved in the process.
This reaffirmation came during a speech by acting Charge D’Affairs of the Kuwaiti mission to the UN headquarters in New York Faisal Al-Enizi to a special committee session on the Sahara.
Al-Enizi said that the GCC countries were united on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara, reflecting hopes that the issue would be resolved soon to solidify security and stability in the region.
He reiterated Kuwait’s support of the UN and its efforts that led to the round table meetings on the issue in December of 2018 and in March of 2019.
The Kuwaiti official welcomed the participation of Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and the Polisario Front in the previous meetings in accordance with UNSC resolutions related to this specific issue.
He commended the efforts of the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary General for the Sahara Staffan de Mistura on the issue, which led to the relaunch of the peace process.
