Ecuador has expressed support for Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara region and announced plans for its ambassador to visit the territory.

The position was outlined in a joint communiqué issued after talks in Rabat on Monday between Morocco’s Foreign Minister, Nasser Bourita, and Ecuador’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility, Roberto Carlos Kury Pesantes.

According to the communiqué, Ecuador supports Moroccan sovereignty over the kingdom’s entire territory, including the Sahara region.

It also endorsed Morocco’s 2007 autonomy initiative as “the only serious, credible, and realistic solution for achieving a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution.”

Ecuador further described “genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty” as “the most feasible solution for resolving this dispute.”

The communiqué said Ecuador would demonstrate its support through bilateral measures, including a visit by its ambassador to the Sahara region.

It also cited Ecuador’s continued nationwide consular coverage as part of its diplomatic, economic and consular position. Morocco welcomed the stance.

Beyond diplomacy, Ecuador pledged to promote economic and commercial cooperation in the region.

The communiqué said the initiative would seek to strengthen investment, trade and productive development, while opening opportunities for Ecuador’s economic sectors to deepen ties with the African continent.
