Rabat: The Republic of Paraguay, in recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara, has announced plans to open a Consulate General in the Kingdom. During his meeting in Rabat with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Paraguay, Rub©n Ramrez Lezcano, reaffirmed his country's full support for Morocco's sovereignty over its Sahara and for the autonomy initiative presented by the Kingdom in 2007, considered as the only serious, credible and realistic basis for settling the regional dispute.
According to Ghana News Agency, on this occasion, the Paraguayan Foreign Minister announced his country's decision to soon open a Consulate General in the southern provinces, as a clear sign of support for the Kingdom's territorial integrity.
Paraguay's decision to open a Consulate General in the Kingdom's southern provinces constitutes a strong political act, illustrating the growing recognition, in Latin America, of Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces and the strength of the ties of friendship and cooperation between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of Paraguay.
