Rabat – The Republic of Costa Rica considered on Friday the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco “the most appropriate, serious, credible, and realistic basis for reaching a political solution,” asserting that “autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty could be the most feasible solution for resolving” the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.
This position was set forth in the Joint Declaration inked in Rabat following talks between Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Worship of the Republic of Costa Rica Arnoldo André Tinoco, currently on a working visit to the Kingdom of Morocco.
In this regard, Costa Rica emphasized its intention “to act on the basis of this position at political, diplomatic, economic, and consular levels”.
In addition, the Republic of Costa Rica, which welcomed the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797 (2025), stressed that it “recognizes the importance the Kingdom of Morocco attaches to the issue of the Sahara,” noting that it is “closely following the current positive momentum on this matter under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.”
In the same Joint Declaration, the two ministers reiterated their support for the United Nations Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy for the Sahara, as well as for his efforts to advance the political process toward a definitive resolution of this regional dispute.
