This move signifies a significant shift in France’s stance on the Western Sahara issue and reflects its support for Morocco’s sovereignty.
The decision follows a letter from French President Emmanuel Macron to King Mohammed VI, where he affirmed that the future of Western Sahara lies within Moroccan sovereignty. The updated map underscores France’s commitment to the Moroccan autonomy plan as the only viable solution to the conflict.
This development marks a new era in Franco-Moroccan relations, characterized by strong cooperation and mutual respect. Both countries are keen to strengthen their partnership in various sectors, including economy, trade, and security.
