00:10:09cooperation in its economic aspects. and commercial

00:10:17Guinea-Bissau reaffirmed its firm stance supporting Morocco's
00:10:20unity and sovereignty over the Moroccan Sahara. This affirmation
00:10:23by the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
00:10:33In the city of Dakhla, in 2020, we follow the statement
00:10:37of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, and Communities of the Republic
00:10:40of Guinea-Bissau. I would like to reiterate
00:10:44clearly the firm position of the Republic
00:10:47of Guinea-Bissau regarding the Moroccan Sahara.
00:10:51Guinea-Bissau is keen to maintain
00:10:55its firm supportive stance for the territorial integrity
00:10:58of the Kingdom of Morocco
00:11:01the Sahara. Guinea-Bissau opened a consulate
00:11:04general in the city of Dakhla in 2020.
00:11:07Guinea-Bissau also supports the autonomy
00:11:11plan presented by Morocco as the only
00:11:15solution to this conflict. Guinea-Bissau
00:11:18is committed to the Security Council resolutions, especially Resolution
00:11:2227/97. It also supports
00:11:25the United Nations' efforts to find a solution to this
00:11:31conflict based on the autonomy plan under Moroccan
00:11:34sovereignty presented by Morocco. Guinea-Bissau's position is clear,
00:11:38firm, and unambiguous.
00:11:40We remain in New York.
00:11:46A significant diplomatic outcome for Moroccan participation
00:11:49in the 81st session of the General Assembly of the United Nations
00:11:53in New York reinforced.
00:12:13The priorities first
00:12:17is an occasion to push the dynamic that
00:12:20His Majesty the King launched regarding the issue of the Moroccan Sahara.
00:12:23Secondly, to promote
00:12:27Morocco's candidacy for non-permanent membership in the Security
00:12:30Council. And third, through a group of initiatives
00:12:34that are consistent with His Majesty the King's vision
00:12:40in regional and international issues.
00:12:43Regarding the Moroccan Sahara issue,
00:12:47was an occasion
00:12:50to strengthen and
00:12:53reinforce the dynamic
00:12:56that began years ago under the leadership of His
00:12:59Majesty the King.
00:13:02that a number of countries either confirmed their position
00:13:06or to a large extent in Latin
00:13:08America
00:13:10decided to support Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara
00:13:13and open a consulate in the city of Dakhla. We saw
00:13:17Bolivia, which confirms its position
00:13:20and insists on opening
00:13:23a commercial office in the southern provinces. We saw
00:13:27Chile, which also recognizes
00:13:31Moroccan sovereignty and supports
00:13:34the territorial integrity of the Kingdom,
00:13:39at the bilateral level in all
00:13:43new position. And we saw Panama, which
00:13:46also renewed its position as a non-permanent member of the Security Council,
00:13:50and more than that, which today also says that
00:13:53its embassy in Rabat has
00:13:57jurisdiction over all Moroccan territories, including
00:14:01the southern provinces. Parallel to that,
00:14:04its position has evolved
00:14:07and it has made a break
00:14:11position, whereby today it
00:14:13considers that autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty
00:14:17is the
00:14:21this artificial conflict. And it is the same position
00:14:27this morning through the message
00:14:30that the Armenian Prime Minister sent
00:14:33to His Majesty the King, in which he confirms that
00:14:37autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty is the basis and that
00:14:41the last decision paves the way
00:14:44for strengthening the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco.
00:14:47So there was
00:14:51in this dynamic from different continents.
00:14:55From Africa, countries of Latin America,
00:14:58Armenia and others,
00:15:00which shows that the solution path
00:15:04has taken its course, and that what was
00:15:07bilateral today appears at the multilateral level of the United
00:15:11Nations, and this is important because it gives a strong signal
00:15:15on the eve of next
00:15:19month, which also go in this direction.
00:15:22We also saw the United States
00:15:25position of the Deputy Assistant
00:15:28Secretary of State for African Affairs, which
00:15:31has been renewed continuously since its announcement by
00:15:34His Excellency the American President to His Majesty
00:15:38King Mohammed VI, may God grant him victory. And today there is a focus and they confirmed
00:15:41to Cristolando that America's position
00:15:44is clear, but now its activation on the ground through supporting economic
00:15:48initiatives in the southern
00:15:50provinces. This was the
00:15:54first priority for this participation.
00:15:57Another was Morocco's candidacy
00:16:01for non-permanent membership in the Security Council for the period 2028-2027.
00:16:05The elections will be, God willing, in June
00:16:082027, which was an opportunity
00:16:11to promote this candidacy
00:16:14and explain its background based
00:16:17on it being
00:16:20the candidacy of a kingdom
00:16:23that has a diplomatic approach that
00:16:26is rooted for centuries.
00:16:30A kingdom whose leader, His Majesty the King, has a clear
00:16:33vision on the major issues facing
00:16:36the world, whether climate change, issues
00:16:40of development, or issues related to combating
00:16:43terrorism or major regional issues. Morocco
00:16:47does not enter with empty hands, as we say. Morocco will enter with a clear
00:16:50vision on this issue,
00:16:54reflects the position that Morocco has today
00:16:57at the regional and international levels
00:17:00as a credible actor,
00:17:05at the regional level.
00:17:10The third priority was how,
00:17:14based on His Majesty the King's directives, a group of
00:17:18initiatives that the Moroccan delegation took this week
00:17:22show, first, that Morocco, His Majesty the King, does
00:17:25not have one file, does not have only the Sahara file, but
00:17:29if this was the priority, its diplomacy
00:17:31also has an interest in a range
00:17:35of issues, and it carries
00:17:38directions to contribute at the regional
00:17:41level and at the multilateral level. There were almost
00:17:45five important initiatives that Morocco
00:17:48took. The first was
00:17:52to open an agreement
00:17:54to combat the phenomenon
00:17:58armed conflicts,
00:18:01which can be an unprecedented initiative at the African
00:18:04level, that an African country creates a dynamic,
00:18:08concludes an agreement. Today, about 20
00:18:13that on the first day, we will continue to have
00:18:16an African bloc first, and then we will open it to the world so that
00:18:20it can be the first agreement
00:18:23that Morocco concludes to become a benchmark international
00:18:26agreement on a very important issue,
00:18:30child recruitment in armed
00:18:32conflicts. Also,
00:18:35within the framework of His Majesty the King's initiative for the Atlantic
00:18:38African states, the meeting was held today, the eighth ministerial
00:18:41meeting of this initiative,
00:18:45which showed that it has started to gain ownership
00:18:48by all countries and has become a reference initiative.
00:18:52Today, there was an agreement that,
00:18:55for example, the state of Gabon will host
00:18:59a meeting
00:19:01the African Atlantic area, first
00:19:05to exchange expertise on how
00:19:09partners, secondly
00:19:12fish resources in this area,
00:19:15and third, combating illegal
00:19:19the African Atlantic area. All these are important
00:19:22challenges that will be discussed in this upcoming
00:19:25meeting. Also, the Republic
00:19:27of Cape
00:19:30Verde will host a workshop on
00:19:34maritime
00:19:37security in this region
00:19:40with the participation of experts and actors
00:19:45field. And the Kingdom of Morocco will host the ninth
00:19:48session, in which we will try to involve foreign ministers with
00:19:51maritime transport ministers to talk about
00:19:55maritime connectivity, how to
00:19:57move this field to
00:20:01create a connection between African countries through
00:20:04maritime corridors. Everyone agreed that
00:20:07His Majesty the King's initiative for Atlantic Africa
00:20:11is very important in today's international
00:20:14reality. When we see the conflict over
00:20:17maritime corridors, the conflict over
00:20:20the challenges faced by trade
00:20:24and maritime navigation, how this initiative, which aims to structure
00:20:28a space and make it a space for cooperation and a structured
00:20:31space, how it provides an answer to the conflict
00:20:35over maritime corridors, which is very
00:20:38important today. The third initiative
00:20:41that Morocco took in this
00:20:44session was the presidency of the ministerial
00:20:47meeting of the Peacebuilding Commission on ownership
00:20:51of peacebuilding processes.
00:20:54Peacebuilding is one of the most difficult
00:20:57stages, because there can be peace,
00:21:01there can be negotiations that lead to solutions,
00:21:05but preserving
00:21:07that peace and protecting it from
00:21:11regressing is what was
00:21:14an essential issue. And the meeting, which was attended
00:21:17by about 30 ministers from various continents,
00:21:21sent a strong signal that
00:21:25today there is a need to own national peacebuilding
00:21:28processes and to
00:21:31accompany them from international groups through a set
00:21:34of cases. There were presentations, and this meeting
00:21:38also showed that this initiative came at the right time.
00:21:41Also, the fourth initiative
00:21:44was about partnership between
00:21:48the private and public sectors.
00:21:51Development, which was with the United Nations Development
00:21:55Program, which was very
00:21:57important, because today there is
00:22:01the issue of funding projects.
00:22:04And the African continent, especially, there is pressure
00:22:07to reach financing for infrastructure projects
00:22:11and others. And this meeting, which was also attended by a group of
00:22:14countries, how, the experience of the Kingdom
00:22:18of Morocco, how the African continent
00:22:22through local funding, funding from regional
00:22:25banks, funding from international partners,
00:22:28funding from the World Bank and others, how
00:22:31to create partnerships between the private
00:22:35sector and the public sector, especially in
00:22:37the African continent. You noticed that all
00:22:41these initiatives go in one
00:22:44direction, which is that security, stability,
00:22:47and development are interconnected.
00:22:51Secondly, that
00:22:54Morocco has something to say in every
00:22:57field and has national experience that it comes to share,
00:23:00which shows that there
00:23:04is an expectation of
00:23:08these Moroccan initiatives, because they provide constructive
00:23:11answers. Morocco does not bring problems. Morocco rather brings solutions
00:23:14and provides spaces for discussion on issues that concern the countries
00:23:17participating in the General Assembly.
00:23:21And to talk more about this dynamic,
00:23:24Dr. Al-Ghali Al-Ghailani, Professor of Legal Sciences at Cadi Ayyad
00:23:28University and President of the International Diplomatic
00:23:30Center, joins us from Marrakech. Dr., how was
00:23:34the outcome of Moroccan diplomacy during the 81st session
00:23:37of the United Nations General Assembly regarding
00:23:42at the UN
00:23:44and international levels?
00:23:50Welcome. And a warm greeting to you,
00:23:53Madam, and to the esteemed viewers.
00:23:56Indeed, the proceedings of the 81st
00:23:59session of the United Nations General Assembly
00:24:03constituted a prominent station for consecrating the diplomatic
00:24:07momentum that His Majesty initiated at the level
00:24:10of resolving the issue of the Moroccan Sahara. This was through
00:24:14the affirmation of many
00:24:17international
00:24:20organization of their support for the sovereignty
00:24:23of the Kingdom of Morocco for autonomy as the only
00:24:27and sole option, or also through the withdrawal of many
00:24:31countries and the freezing of their recognition
00:24:34in addition to the support of many countries for the political,
00:24:37economic, and social development process initiated
00:24:41by the Kingdom of Morocco in the Moroccan Sahara region.
00:24:44It was an opportunity, Madam, for the Kingdom
00:24:48of Morocco in this international organization to highlight
00:24:52the red lines drawn by the diplomacy of the Kingdom of Morocco,
00:24:55whose features were drawn by His Majesty in the issue of the Moroccan
00:24:58Sahara, which is that the Kingdom of Morocco has no solution
00:25:02outside of autonomy as the sole and only
00:25:05basis, in line with Security Council Resolution
00:25:082797, which considers this initiative not a proposal, but
00:25:12a sole and only basis. Then also, no solution outside the Security Council
00:25:16and outside the United Nations organizations. Then also, no solution without
00:25:20holding the parties responsible for the perpetuation of this,
00:25:24especially Algeria, which was referred to in Security Council Resolution 2797 four times.
00:25:27Then also, holding the parties responsible for violating
00:25:30the ceasefire in this regard. Then also, it was an occasion,
00:25:33Madam, to commend the approach
00:25:37of the Kingdom of Morocco in this file, this approach
00:25:40which is now considered an approach
00:25:43based on the autonomy initiative and on the sovereignty
00:25:47of the Kingdom of Morocco over the Sahara. And therefore, the Kingdom
00:25:50of Morocco succeeded, in the framework of these General Assembly proceedings, in consolidating
00:25:54the gains of the diplomacy of the Kingdom of Morocco
00:25:58from the stage of bilateral relations to the stage of
00:26:01multilateral relations. Well,
00:26:04Dr. Ghali, in view of all this renewed dynamism in
00:26:07Rabat-Washington partnership, to what extent do all these positions
00:26:11and initiatives embody a strategic commitment
00:26:14by Washington towards a reliable and major partner
00:26:18in the stability of the region? What are the prospects for this partnership
00:26:21in the future in light of international geostrategic
00:26:24challenges?
00:26:30Yes, we noticed
00:26:33that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans
00:26:36Residing Abroad, Mr. Nasser Bourita, in the framework of a series
00:26:40of bilateral meetings held on the sidelines of
00:26:44the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly,
00:26:48the declaration and outcomes that resulted
00:26:51from the meeting he held with the Deputy Assistant Secretary
00:26:55of State for African Affairs, Christopher Landberg,
00:26:58who affirmed Washington's firm support for the sovereignty
00:27:02of the Kingdom of Morocco over the Sahara and for the autonomy initiative
00:27:05as the only and sole basis for this artificial regional
00:27:09conflict, and also for supporting the efforts
00:27:12of the Kingdom of Morocco in development paths under
00:27:15the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco.
00:27:19of maintaining the status quo, which has
00:27:22lasted for half a century. Therefore, Washington
00:27:25affirmed, through
00:27:29of State, the relations also at the bilateral
00:27:33level of the ancient
00:27:36of coordination during the reign of both His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
00:27:40may God grant him victory, and during the reign of His Excellency President
00:27:42Donald Trump. Dr. Ghilani, how has Latin
00:27:46America become one of the most active and dynamic international
00:27:49arenas in international support for the Moroccan
00:27:52Sahara?
00:27:58Indeed, one of the most important diplomatic
00:28:00gains achieved by the Kingdom
00:28:04UN context is that many member states
00:28:07of the United Nations
