Morocco and Spain Agree to Avoid Unilateral Actions on Maritime Borders

At the end of this Hispano-Moroccan summit, which brought together 11 ministers from each side, 24 cooperation agreements were signed. The two countries have notably agreed to avoid any kind of statements that offend the other party and, in particular, those related to their respective "sovereignty issues."

Regarding the Sahara, Spain has "reiterated" its position on the Sahara, expressed in the joint declaration of April 7, 2022, considering Morocco’s autonomy plan as the "most serious, realistic and credible" basis for resolving this conflict.

In a joint press conference with Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch at the end of the summit, Pedro Sanchez stressed that the two countries will have a permanent dialogue on the contentious issues "without resorting to unilateral actions" and to address any issue "however complex it may be."
