The Czech Republic confirmed, today, Thursday, March 26, 2026, that the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco constitutes “the most realistic solution” to settle the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, in a new diplomatic position that strengthens the international momentum in support of the Moroccan proposal.
This position came in a joint declaration signed in the capital, Rabat, following discussions between the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Residing Abroad, Nasser Bourita, and his Czech counterpart, Peter Macinka, who is on an official visit to the Kingdom.
The statement explained that Prague considers the autonomy plan presented by Morocco in 2007 “the most serious, credible and realistic basis” for reaching a lasting and acceptable political solution to the conflict, in harmony with the growing international dynamism supporting this trend.
Concrete diplomatic and economic commitment
In the context of translating this position into practical steps, it was announced that the Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Morocco will make an upcoming visit to the southern provinces, with the aim of preparing economic missions and exploring investment opportunities, which reflects a practical approach to strengthening the Czech presence in the region.
The Czech Embassy in Rabat will also expand the scope of its consular services to include the southern provinces, by dealing with them as an integral part of the Moroccan national territory in its various diplomatic and economic activities.
In the same context, the two parties praised Security Council Resolution No. 2797, renewing their support for the efforts of the Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations aimed at reaching a final solution to the conflict.
Towards an advanced strategic partnership
At the level of bilateral relations, Morocco and the Czech Republic expressed their desire to raise their cooperation to the level of a strategic partnership, which reflects the maturity of relations between the two countries and the coincidence of their views on a number of issues of common interest.
The two ministers affirmed their intention to enhance cooperation in multiple fields, including security, economy, defence, energy, and immigration, in addition to culture and tourism.
Promising sectors for joint cooperation
The discussions also included prospects for developing joint projects in sectors with high added value, including health, the pharmaceutical industry, water resources management, infrastructure, the automobile industry, smart cities, the aviation industry, cybersecurity, and digitization.
Industrial cooperation opportunities were also discussed in the fields of defence, minerals, food industries, and renewable energies, in a way that enhances economic integration between the two countries.
Dynamic cooperation likely to expand
The two parties agreed to hold the first meeting of the Joint Committee for Economic Cooperation in the capital, Prague, during the coming period, as a basic mechanism for implementing joint projects and activating the bilateral partnership.
The two sides also stressed the importance of enhancing cultural and academic exchange, and encouraging the movement of students and researchers, which contributes to consolidating relations between the two peoples.
At the conclusion of the statement, the Czech Republic praised the selection of Morocco as a partner in organizing the 2030 FIFA World Cup finals alongside Spain and Portugal, considering that this event constitutes an opportunity to enhance investments and open new horizons for Czech companies.
