Sweden has expressed support for Morocco’s Autonomy Plan as a “credible basis” for negotiations aimed at reaching a definitive solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, in light of the recently adopted United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797.
The position was stated in an official communiqué issued by the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs following a phone conversation held on Monday between Sweden’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maria Malmer Stenengard, and Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita.
Through this expressed support, Sweden joins the majority of European Union countries and more than two-thirds of United Nations member states that back Morocco’s autonomy proposal.
UN Security Council Resolution 2797, adopted on October 31, 2025, affirms that genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty represents the most feasible solution to this regional dispute.
