The United Kingdom has reaffirmed its support for Morocco’s autonomy plan for the Sahara, describing it as the “most credible, viable, and pragmatic basis” for achieving a lasting solution. This position was expressed on April 23, 2026, in London during a meeting between Yvette Cooper, the UK Foreign Secretary, and her Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita. It follows the commitment made in Rabat in 2025, highlighting the importance of the UN-led process and reflecting a growing international consensus.
