Costa Rica Considers 'Autonomy Under Moroccan Sovereignty' the Most Feasible Solution

Rabat, March 30 (TNA) The Republic of Costa Rica considered last week the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco "the most appropriate, serious, credible, and realistic basis for reaching a political solution," asserting that "autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty could be the most feasible solution for resolving" the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.

This position was outlined in the Joint Declaration inked in Rabat following talks between Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Worship of the Republic of Costa Rica Arnoldo André Tinoco, currently on a working visit to the Kingdom.

In this regard, Costa Rica emphasised its intention "to act based on this position at political, diplomatic, economic, and consular levels."

In addition, the Republic of Costa Rica, which welcomed the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797 (2025), stressed that it "recognises the importance the Kingdom of Morocco attaches to the issue of the Sahara," noting that it is "closely following the current positive momentum on this matter under the leadership of King Mohammed VI."

In the same Joint Declaration, the two ministers reiterated their support for the United Nations Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy for the Sahara and for his efforts to advance the political process toward a definitive resolution of this regional dispute.
