Egypt Renews Support for Morocco’s Sovereignty Over Western Sahara

Egypt renewed its support for Morocco’s sovereignty over its southern provinces in Western Sahara during the first session of the Moroccan-Egyptian Coordination and Follow-up Committee. The meeting, chaired by Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch and Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, also saw Egypt endorse UN Security Council Resolution 2797, adopted last October. This resolution recognizes Morocco’s Autonomy Plan as a viable political solution to end the Sahara dispute.
