Libreville, 17 April 2026 (AGP) – The Republic of Ecuador has reaffirmed its unwavering support for Morocco’s autonomy initiative in the Western Sahara, positioning itself as a key ally in the ongoing diplomatic efforts. This commitment was echoed during high-level talks in Rabat, Morocco, where Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Gabriela Sommerfeld engaged with her Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita. Officials commented on the matter.
This endorsement comes on the heels of the United Nations Security Council’s adoption of Resolution 2797 (2025), which supports Morocco’s autonomy plan as the most pragmatic path to a definitive resolution. Beyond the political support, Ecuador is poised to strengthen its ties with Morocco through strategic economic cooperation.
The Equatorial Guinean government is eyeing the Moroccan Sahara as a gateway to the African continent, with a focus on investment, trade, and productive development. This economic partnership aims to identify promising sectors and establish foundational economic alliances between the two countries. Ecuador’s diplomatic and economic repositioning with Morocco signifies a pragmatic approach to international relations, particularly in the context of the Sahara question.
As the two nations work to solidify their strategic alliance, the world watches to see how this relationship will impact the broader geopolitical landscape in the region.
