Royal Speech: His Majesty King Mohammed VI Pays Tribute to President Donald Trump for His Decisive Role in the Recognition of Morocco’s Sovereignty over Its Sahara
In a historic speech delivered on Friday, October 31, 2025, following the adoption by the United Nations Security Council of the resolution enshrining Morocco’s Autonomy Plan as the sole basis for resolving the regional dispute over the Sahara, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, expressed His deepest gratitude to all friendly nations that have supported Morocco in its legitimate struggle for national unity.
The Sovereign declared with strength and gratitude:
“We take this opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation to all the countries that, through their constructive positions and sustained efforts in favor of justice and legitimacy, have contributed to the emergence of this change.
I make special mention of the United States of America, under the leadership of Our Friend, His Excellency President Donald Trump, whose efforts made it possible to pave the way for a definitive settlement of this conflict.”
A Royal Tribute to a Historic Ally of Morocco
These royal words, filled with gratitude and vision, reflect the depth of the strategic ties between Morocco and the United States — a historic partnership founded on trust, cooperation, and a shared vision for regional peace and stability.
The tribute to Donald Trump is a clear and direct acknowledgment of the crucial role played by the former U.S. President in recognizing Morocco’s full and entire sovereignty over its Sahara — a historic decision announced in December 2020, marking a major geopolitical turning point in the region.
An Alliance Built on Loyalty and Continuity
Under the reign of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, relations between Rabat and Washington have continued to strengthen across diplomatic, economic, security, and cultural fields.
Today, the Kingdom and the world’s leading power share a common vision of a stable Maghreb, a prosperous Africa, and a peaceful Middle East, united by their commitment to peace and international legitimacy.
The Royal tribute to Donald Trump thus falls within the continuity of Morocco’s consistent diplomacy — principled, loyal to its allies, and unwavering in its recognition of the historical and legal truth of its national cause.
A Victorious Morocco, Loyal to Its Allies
On this day, as the international community definitively endorses the Moroccan character of the Sahara, His Majesty King Mohammed VI made sure to associate this victory with the friendly nations that believed in the justice of Morocco’s cause.
The message is clear: The recognition of the Moroccan Sahara is now universal, and Morocco, true to its history and faithful to its alliances, moves forward united, strong, and respected.
