Hungary’s statement reaffirming its support comes amid renewed support for Morocco’s autonomy initiative, with
more than 100 countries considering it the most credible and serious basis for ending the conflict in the Western Sahara.
Istvan Jakab, Vice President of the National Assembly of Hungary, reiterated his country’s support for Morocco’s territorial integrity during a visit to Rabat.
According to a statement from the Moroccan House of Representatives, Jakab is leading a high-level delegation on a working visit to the North African country.
During a meeting last Wednesday with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rachid Talbi Alami, the Hungarian official reaffirmed his country’s support for Morocco’s autonomy plan as the only solution
to the Western Sahara dispute.
During the audience, the two officials also stressed their countries’ shared determination to strengthen their ties.
“Morocco is a leading strategic partner,” the Hungarian official said, noting that the two countries share the same values in preserving national sovereignty, territorial integrity and properly managing migration challenges.
Talbi Alami echoed the same sentiment, highlighting promising opportunities to strengthen cooperation with Hungary at all levels, including economy, trade, tourism and technological exchanges.
Last November, Hungary renewed its unwavering support for Morocco’s autonomy initiative.
The country reaffirmed its position during Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto’s visit to Morocco.
“We are convinced that the autonomy plan presented by Morocco offers hope for a resolution of this conflict in compliance with UN resolutions,” Szijjarto said at the time.
Similar comments from the visiting Hungarian official come amid a growing consensus within the international community, with many countries joining in to reiterate their unwavering support for Morocco’s autonomy plan and the kingdom’s territorial integrity.
Estonia joined the growing list earlier this week, providing Moroccan diplomacy with an unprecedented opening in the Baltic region.
