French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné emphasized France's «clear and continuous» support for Morocco's autonomy proposal. He further stated that the French President desires an «exceptional» relationship with Morocco, adding that Morocco can rely on France to defend its priority issues.
Morocco expressed its satisfaction with the outcomes of the recent African Union (AU) summit, marking a significant development in the Western Sahara conflict. This positive reception stands in stark contrast to the silence maintained by the Polisario Front.
Following French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné's statements, the French ambassador to Morocco has directly addressed the question of recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara in the context of normalized political and diplomatic relations with Rabat.
