Madagascar Supports Kingdom’s Territorial Integrity, Moroccan Autonomy Plan, Praising…

Tuesday 19 May 2026
The Republic of Madagascar, committed to the principle of the territorial integrity of UN Member States, has expressed its support for the respect of the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco and its territorial integrity.

This position was expressed in a joint communiqué issued following talks on Tuesday in Rabat between the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Mr. Nasser Bourita, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Madagascar, Alice N'Diaye.

In this joint communiqué, the Republic of Madagascar also reiterated its position of support for the exclusive role of the United Nations, as well as the efforts of the Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy for the settlement of the dispute over the Sahara.

In this spirit, the Republic of Madagascar welcomed the adoption of Resolution 2797 by the United Nations Security Council, affirming that a "genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty could be one of the most feasible solutions."

The Republic of Madagascar also expressed its support for the Autonomy Initiative presented by the Kingdom of Morocco, which falls within the continuation of the growing international consensus around this initiative, generated by the momentum driven by His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
