The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) of Mexico has officially endorsed Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, marking a shift from its previous recognition of the Polisario Front. This decision, announced by PRI President Alejandro Moreno, reflects a new direction in Mexico’s international relations. Additionally, the Mexican Observatory for Moroccan Sahara has been established to promote bilateral relations and support Morocco’s territorial integrity.
Rabat – The ongoing outreach of Moroccan diplomacy in Latin America has yielded significant outcomes, with Mexico recently demonstrating increasing support for Morocco’s sovereignty over its southern territories. On Wednesday, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), a prominent political party in Mexico, officially declared its backing of Morocco’s stance regarding the Western Sahara issue.
According to PRI President Alejandro Moreno, the party’s endorsement signifies the beginning of a new chapter in its international relations, highlighting its recognition and solidarity with the Moroccan people’s legitimate claim to sovereignty over the Sahara. This decision represents a notable shift from PRI’s historical position, as the party had recognized the Polisario separatist front during its time in power from 1979.
Moreno announced the party’s stance following discussions with Rachid Talbi Alami, President of Morocco’s House of Representatives, who led a delegation of Moroccan parliamentary leaders during a two-day visit to Mexico City. Moreno emphasized that this move reflects the PRI’s awareness of the evolving multipolar global landscape, asserting that it aims to defend Mexico’s interests while fostering a new international framework.
In support of this initiative, Deputy Marcela Guerra called for enhanced relations between Morocco and Mexico, considering both nations as essential gateways to their respective regions. During a special session at the Mexican Chamber of Deputies, she noted the strategic importance of both countries in contributing to international stability and development.
Guerra underscored the potential for partnership resulting from over 60 years of diplomatic relations, citing the numerous cooperation agreements established across various sectors. Additionally, the Mexican Observatory for Moroccan Sahara was launched on January 20 in Mexico City, dedicated to advocating for Morocco’s territorial integrity and furthering diplomatic ties with Latin America.
The initiation of the Observatory and PRI’s recent declaration indicate a growing acknowledgment of the international support behind Morocco’s autonomy initiative in recent years. Its president stated that the Observatory would serve as a center for fostering bilateral relations, as the global recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara continues to expand.
In conclusion, Mexico’s Institutional Revolutionary Party has shifted its position to support Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, marking a significant change in its foreign relations strategy. Amidst their 60-year diplomatic partnership, this newfound solidarity highlights the importance of Morocco and Mexico’s roles in international stability. Furthermore, the inauguration of the Mexican Observatory for Moroccan Sahara underscores the growing support for Morocco’s territorial claims in Latin America.
