Athens – Greece reaffirms its support for the Moroccan autonomy proposal, believing it “constitutes a serious and credible contribution to the ongoing UN process”, and that it “could be the most feasible solution” for the definitive resolution of the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.
This stance was expressed by Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis during a statement to the press following his meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita, who is visiting Athens.
Gerapetritis stated that, in accordance with the European Union’s joint position, Greece “fully supports the efforts made by the UN Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy to conduct negotiations, based on the Moroccan proposal for autonomy, with a view to reaching a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable solution.”
In this context, the Greek foreign minister emphasized that his country, as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the 2025–2026 term, “welcomes the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797.”
