“The Kingdom of Bahrain reiterates its firm and supportive position with the Kingdom of Morocco in preserving its security and territorial integrity,” stated Bahrain’s representative during the session.
The diplomat emphasized that Bahrain renews its support for Morocco’s serious efforts to find a political solution to the issue of the Moroccan Sahara, based on the Autonomy Initiative and within the framework of the Kingdom’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
“Based on its constant position of support for Morocco, the Kingdom of Bahrain opened its Consulate General in the city of Laayoune in December 2020,” the representative noted.
The Bahraini diplomat also praised the efforts of UN Secretary-General António Guterres and his Personal Envoy for the Moroccan Sahara, Staffan de Mistura, aimed at achieving a realistic, pragmatic, and lasting political solution based on compromise and respect for Morocco’s national sovereignty.
