King Mohammed VI welcomed the recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara by the United States and France, as well as support from numerous other countries for Morocco's autonomy plan for the region. He urged continued efforts to engage with the «small number of countries that persist in opposing the logic of law and denying the facts of history».
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace praised Morocco's modernization efforts and its role as a global connector, particularly through the Atlantic Initiative. However, the report also highlighted concerns over rising public debt and escalating tensions with Algeria.
