Denmark reaffirms support for Morocco’s Western Sahara autonomy plan

Western Sahara autonomy plan Denmark-Morocco strategic partnership Lars Løkke Rasmussen Nasser Bourita diplomatic relations

Denmark has reaffirmed its support for Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara, describing the proposal as a 'credible' and 'good basis' for a negotiated political solution under the United Nations framework. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, following meetings with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita in Copenhagen, characterized Morocco as a reliable strategic ally for Europe and a vital partner on the continent’s southern flank.

To deepen bilateral ties, the two nations are working toward a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement, expected to be signed in Rabat this December. This partnership will cover political, security, and economic cooperation, including areas such as renewable energy, climate policy, and investment. Key components of the upcoming agreement include the establishment of a Moroccan-Danish Business Council to facilitate trade and discussions regarding security cooperation and extradition agreements.

Furthermore, Denmark indicated that its position on the Western Sahara issue could evolve to align more closely with the United States' stance, which recognizes Moroccan sovereignty over the territory.
