Rabat, September 5, 2026 – The Europe Today: Denmark has renewed its support for Morocco’s Autonomy Plan for Western Sahara, describing the proposal as “credible” and a good basis for achieving a mutually agreed political solution to the longstanding dispute.
The renewed Danish position adds to growing international backing for Morocco’s autonomy proposal and reflects continued diplomatic momentum surrounding efforts to resolve the Western Sahara issue through the United Nations process.
According to the report, Denmark considers Morocco’s autonomy initiative a credible contribution to the ongoing UN-led process and an appropriate basis for reaching a mutually acceptable settlement among the parties concerned.
The Danish position underscores Copenhagen’s support for efforts aimed at achieving a peaceful and negotiated resolution to the dispute, while emphasizing the importance of advancing the political process through dialogue and international diplomacy.
Morocco has increasingly sought international support for its autonomy proposal, which envisages Western Sahara having broad self-government under Moroccan sovereignty. A number of countries have in recent years expressed support for the proposal as a basis for negotiations.
The latest Danish endorsement comes amid broader diplomatic developments concerning Western Sahara and further strengthens Morocco’s efforts to build international support for its proposed framework.
The development is also significant in the context of Morocco’s relations with European countries, as European support for the autonomy proposal has increasingly featured in diplomatic discussions concerning the future of Western Sahara.
Denmark’s reaffirmation is therefore expected to contribute to the continuing international debate over a political settlement and reinforce calls for a negotiated, lasting and mutually acceptable solution under the UN framework.
