“While welcoming Morocco’s efforts to reach a negotiated political solution to this regional dispute through the Autonomy Plan submitted by Morocco in 2007, SEM. Prak Sokhonn reiterated Cambodia’s full support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco,” the Joint Communiqué said.
In this context, Cambodia “welcomed Morocco’s serious, realistic and credible efforts” to put an end to this regional dispute, while expressing its full support “for the efforts undertaken by the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy for the Sahara which are in line with the parameters of the relevant Security Council resolutions on this issue”.
The two senior officials reiterated their respective countries’ commitment to the common values of peace, security and stability. In this regard, they “underlined their rejection of all separatist agendas aimed at undermining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Member States of the United Nations,” reads the Joint Communiqué.
