Guinea-Bissau has reaffirmed its strong support for Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara region following talks held in Rabat between the two countries’ foreign ministers. Guinea-Bissau’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, João Bernardo Vieira, reiterated his country’s “firm and constant” backing for Morocco’s territorial integrity during a joint appearance with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita.
He also described Morocco’s autonomy initiative as the only credible and realistic solution to the regional dispute.
