Peru’s incoming leadership reaffirms backing for Morocco’s Sahara autonomy initiative
Peru’s president-elect, Keiko Fujimori, has publicly confirmed her government’s commitment to upholding Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over its southern provinces. The pledge was made during a meeting with Morocco’s Ambassador to Peru, Amin Chaoudri, who presented a congratulatory message from King Mohammed VI following Fujimori’s electoral victory.
According to a statement from the president-elect’s office, Fujimori’s administration will fully support Morocco’s autonomy plan for the Sahara region—a proposal endorsed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797 as the foundation for a lasting solution to the long-standing regional dispute.
In his congratulatory message, the Moroccan monarch praised Fujimori’s leadership and expressed confidence in her ability to advance Peru’s development and prosperity. King Mohammed VI also underscored the strong historical ties between Morocco and Peru, rooted in mutual respect, shared values, and a long-standing friendship.
The Moroccan Sovereign emphasized his eagerness to collaborate closely with Peru’s next president to elevate bilateral relations to the level of a comprehensive strategic partnership, benefiting both nations and their peoples.
Strengthening bilateral ties through mutual commitment
This diplomatic endorsement marks a significant step in reinforcing the partnership between Morocco and Peru. The autonomy initiative, which envisions broad self-governance for the Sahara region under Moroccan sovereignty, has gained increasing international recognition as a viable path toward resolving the decades-old conflict.
Fujimori’s alignment with the UN-backed plan signals Peru’s willingness to play an active role in supporting a peaceful and sustainable resolution in North Africa, aligning with broader regional stability efforts.
Shared values and future cooperation
The exchange between the two leaders reflects a shared vision for progress and collaboration. Both nations have expressed enthusiasm for deepening economic, cultural, and political exchanges, with a focus on joint initiatives that foster growth and innovation.
As Peru prepares to transition to its next administration, the Moroccan leadership’s proactive engagement underscores the importance of international solidarity in addressing complex geopolitical challenges.
