During a press conference following his talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, MFA Nasser Bourita, the Ivorian Head of Diplomacy expressed his country's support for the autonomy plan presented by the Kingdom of Morocco, which constitutes the only credible and realistic solution to resolve this regional dispute.

He also praised the UN efforts as the exclusive framework to achieve a realistic, practical and lasting solution to the Sahara dispute.

In this respect, Bourita thanked Côte d'Ivoire for its constant and firm support for Morocco's territorial integrity, in particular for its clear position in favor of the Moroccan Sahara, which was reflected in the opening of a Côte d'Ivoire Consulate General in Laâyoune in 2020.
