US Reaffirms Support for Investment in Morocco's Southern Provinces

News summary

The United States, reaffirming its recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, has announced its support for American investments in Morocco's southern provinces, including the disputed territory. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau emphasized that this move is part of broader economic and commercial diplomacy efforts initiated during the Trump administration, aimed at promoting prosperity, peace, and regional stability. Morocco has been actively developing infrastructure in Western Sahara, including roads, renewable energy projects, and a major port, to attract foreign investors. The U.S. backing aligns with similar positions from countries like France and the UK, despite opposition from Algeria and the Polisario Front, who advocate for a referendum on the territory's status. The UN has described the conflict as low-intensity and continues to call for a negotiated, peaceful resolution. This U.S. stance underscores the deepening strategic partnership between Rabat and Washington, reinforcing international support for Morocco's autonomy plan for Western Sahara.
