The Federal Republic of Somalia reaffirmed its unwavering support for Morocco’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty during a diplomatic meeting held Friday in Rabat. The discussions brought together Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, and Somalia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Abdisalam Abdi Ali.
In a Joint Communiqué issued after the meeting, Minister Abdi Ali reiterated Somalia’s clear and constant position in favor of Morocco’s sovereignty over its entire territory. He also expressed strong satisfaction with the recent adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2797, highlighting that the resolution reinforces the Moroccan autonomy initiative as the sole realistic and credible basis for achieving a just and lasting settlement of the regional dispute.
Abdi Ali praised Morocco’s “serious and pragmatic” efforts to resolve what he described as an artificial conflict, while voicing Somalia’s full support for the ongoing work of the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy for the Sahara.
For his part, Minister Bourita conveyed Morocco’s sincere appreciation for Somalia’s vote in favor of Resolution 2797, adopted on October 31, 2025. He emphasized that Morocco remains equally committed to upholding Somalia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, reflecting the mutual respect and deepening partnership between the two nations.
