The Brazilian Senate passed on Tuesday a motion in favor of Morocco’s Sahara autonomy project, calling for “more expressive” support for the Kingdom’s “serious and reliable” efforts to resolve this regional problem.
The adopted motion–signed by 28 Brazilian senators from various political backgrounds–affirmed that the time has come for Brasilia to consider Morocco’s autonomy proposal as a realistic and pragmatic basis for a political solution in accordance with U.N. Security Council resolutions.
The Brazilian position on the Sahara dispute is for finding a consensual and peaceful political solution to the regional Sahara conflict, under the UN Council supervision–the motion stated.
Senator Hiran Manuel Gonçalves da Silva of the Progressive Party introduced the resolution, highlighting “the improvement in the climate of trust and cooperation between Brazil and Morocco in several areas,” during the plenary session.
The two countries have great potential for cooperation in a number of areas, principally food sufficiency, adding that in recent years, Brazil and Morocco have implemented a legal framework covering a variety of sectors, including investment facilitation, double taxation, customs cooperation, digital transition, professional training, scientific research, and defense.
In Late May, Brazil’s Senate approved the framework agreement on defense cooperation with the Kingdom of Morocco to promote cooperation between the two parties in an environment conducive to the dissemination of knowledge and experience, “while maintaining absolute respect for the sovereignty of both countries.”
