Romania reaffirmed its backing for the Morocco autonomy plan for Sahara during high-level talks held in Rabat between Morocco\u2019s Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita and Romanian Presidential Advisor Dacian Ciolo\u0219.<\/p>\n
Ciolo\u0219 delivered a message from Romanian President Nicu\u0219or Dan to King Mohammed VI, highlighting the strength of bilateral relations and describing Morocco as Romania\u2019s main partner in the Middle East and North Africa region.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the meeting, the Romanian official praised the longstanding cooperation between the two countries across diplomatic, economic, and educational sectors. He said Morocco and Romania have developed strong partnership ties over several decades based on mutual respect and shared interests.<\/p>\n
Ciolo\u0219 also stressed Morocco\u2019s importance within the International Organization of La Francophonie. He described the Kingdom as a key actor in the Francophone world due to its close links with French-speaking countries across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.<\/p>\n
He called for a Francophonie that is better adapted to global transformations and more attentive to the expectations of younger generations. According to Ciolo\u0219, the French language remains an important tool for employment, entrepreneurship, and international cooperation among member countries.<\/p>\n
The Romanian advisor further highlighted the cultural and linguistic connections between Morocco and Romania. He noted that Romania remains one of the most Francophone countries in Eastern Europe and said these shared ties have helped strengthen bilateral relations over time.<\/p>\n
Educational cooperation was another focus of the discussions. Ciolo\u0219 said more than 1,200 Moroccan students are currently pursuing higher education in Romania, describing academic exchanges as a key pillar of cooperation between the two countries.<\/p>\n
Economic relations also featured prominently during the meeting. The Romanian official pointed to significant opportunities for expanding cooperation, particularly in the automotive and construction industries. He noted that several Romanian companies have already established investments in Morocco.<\/p>\n
According to Morocco\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, President Dan\u2019s message reaffirmed Romania\u2019s position on the Sahara issue. The Romanian president stated that genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty could provide a viable solution to the regional dispute.<\/p>\n
Romania also reiterated that the Morocco autonomy plan presented in 2007 remains the most appropriate, serious, credible, and realistic basis for achieving a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution to the conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
