Minister Bourita conveyed Morocco’s gratitude for Paraguay’s consistent support regarding Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over the Sahara. He also praised Paraguay’s development and emphasised the importance of enhancing trade relations to position Morocco as a strategic ally in the South Atlantic region.
Both ministers further agreed to reinforce relations between Morocco and Mercosur, with Paraguay pledging to promote stronger cooperation between the North African nation and the South American trade bloc.
A renewed commitment to shared development
Minister Ramírez reaffirmed Paraguay’s support for Morocco’s autonomy initiative, describing it as the only credible and realistic solution to the regional Sahara issue.
