“We will work over the next few months to hold a meeting, whether in Laayoune or Dakhla, in the presence of all the countries that have opened consulates in the southern provinces, to confirm this dynamic and create greater coordination. between these States”, indicated Mr. Bourita during a joint press briefing with his Cabo Verdean counterpart, Rui Alberto De Figueiredo Soares, held following the inauguration in Dakhla of a consulate general of the Republic of Cabo Green.
This initiative, added Mr. Bourita, is part of the process of strengthening the dynamics of opening consulates, which His Majesty King Mohammed VI underlined in His speech addressed to the Nation on the occasion of the 69th anniversary of the Revolution of the King and the People, following the positive evolution of the question of the territorial integrity of the Kingdom.
The fact that “regarding 40% of African states have opened consulates in Laayoune and Dakhla”, as HM the King has said, reflects the general orientation within the African continent to support the territorial integrity of Morocco and its legitimate rights in this part of its territory, he noted.
Mr. Bourita and Cape Verdean Minister of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and Regional Integration, Rui Alberto De Figueiredo Soares, presided over the opening ceremony of the Consulate General of the Republic of Cabo Verde on Wednesday in Dakhla, which thus marks its firm support for Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara and for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom.
