Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski spoke with Nasser Bourita, Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Residing Abroad. During the phone conversation both ministers expressed their willingness to intensify political dialogue.
The ministers agreed that this dialogue should match the growing trade volume that makes Morocco Poland's leading partner on the African continent. The Moroccan minister expressed his wish for greater engagement from Polish entrepreneurs, investors, and exporters in order to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the Moroccan economy. This applies to infrastructure projects related to the 2030 FIFA World Cup, among others in the public procurement, utilities, security, renewable energy, and agri-food sectors.
The head of Polish diplomacy invited his counterpart, Nasser Bourita, to Poland, at the same time expressing appreciation for the numerous ambitious reforms carried out under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. Aiming at its economic and social development, these reforms have cemented Morocco's position as the EU's credible, reliable, and responsible partner in Africa.
Both ministers reaffirmed their commitment to the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, which are the only way to resolve disputes peacefully. They also discussed threats to the sense of security posed by the international situation. Moreover, they voiced their support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and expressed hope for putting an end to the war and finding a lasting solution to the conflict through negotiations.
Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski reiterated Poland's support for the ongoing negotiations regarding the UN Security Council's new resolution on the referendum in Western Sahara to be exclusively supervised by the UN. Its aim should be to achieve a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable solution to the status of Western Sahara, in accordance with the resolutions of the UN Security Council and the goals and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
Poland considers the autonomy plan-proposed by Morocco in 2007-to be a serious, realistic, and pragmatic foundation for a lasting solution to the dispute and appreciates the efforts to elaborate it.
