This very strong diplomatic act is part of the constant support of this Gulf country for the territorial integrity of Morocco and the autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty, said the minister who was speaking during a press briefing with his Bahraini counterpart, Abdellatif Bin Rashid Al Zyani on the occasion of the inauguration of this diplomatic representation.

He said that the inauguration of this consulate perfectly reflects the shared solidarity, distinguished relations, sincere friendship, solid fraternity and the bonds of reciprocal esteem between the two Kingdoms, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI and HM Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa.

The Kingdom of Bahrain has always expressed its solidarity with Morocco for the defense of its territorial integrity, the preservation of its unity, its stability and security, he noted adding that Morocco has never failed, for its part, to support the stability and security of Bahrain, particularly in the face of Iranian interventions.

He recalled that this inauguration gives concrete substance for the latest telephone call between HM the King and His brother HM Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa, during which the Sovereign of Bahrain welcomed the decisions ordered by His Majesty the King in the region of El Guerguarat, in the Moroccan Sahara, and which resulted in a decisive and effective intervention to preserve peace and stability in this part of the Moroccan territory, and to guarantee a normal and secure flow of people and goods between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.

After stressing that the Moroccan people strongly appreciate this gesture from Bahrain, Bourita noted that this inauguration comes a few days after the American decision to recognize the Moroccanness of the Sahara and the resolute intervention of the Royal Armed Forces in El Guerguarat.

Bourita finally assured that Morocco will continue to work to permanently establish its sovereignty over all the southern provinces, specifying that other countries will follow the example of the around twenty States which have opened, or will very soon, diplomatic representations in Dakhla and Laâyoune.
