Cotonou –The Republic of Benin reiterated, on Tuesday, its firm and supportive position in support of the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco and its full sovereignty over its southern regions, affirming its support for the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco as a realistic and credible basis for settling the Sahara conflict.
This position was stated in the joint communiqué issued following the work of the seventh session of the Joint Committee for Moroccan-Benin Cooperation, which was held in the capital, Cotonou, and co-chaired by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Residing Abroad, Nasser Bourita, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs in charge of the integration of people of African descent in Benin, Corinne Amaury Bruni.
