A resolution was introduced in the US House of Representatives, highlighting the centuries-old ties between Morocco and the U.S. and underscoring support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative as a credible, realistic and serious solution to the artificial conflict over the Sahara. Morocco’s Foreign Minister described the U.S. Congressmen resolution as “a powerful reaffirmation of the U.S.-Morocco relationship, which has existed for hundreds of years. Our strong economic and security partnerships are critical to maintaining peace and prosperity around the region. We look forward to continuing our counterterrorism work with the United States and challenging any efforts to destabilize the North Africa region.”
