The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) of Mexico has voiced its support for Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, marking a significant policy shift since 1979.

Additionally, the opening of the Mexican Observatory for Moroccan Sahara symbolizes increased advocacy for Morocco’s claims within Latin America, reflecting a growing international consensus in support of its autonomy plan.
Moroccan diplomacy has recently achieved a significant milestone in Latin America, particularly with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) of Mexico expressing its support for Morocco’s claims over the Western Sahara. This announcement by PRI President Alejandro Moreno represents a notable shift from the party’s previous stance, which recognized the Polisario separatist movement during its governance in 1979.
Following a meeting with Rachid Talbi Alami, Morocco’s House of Representatives President, Moreno emphasized that this decision underscores a new era in PRI’s international relations, showcasing its commitment to the advocacy of Morocco’s sovereignty. He stated that this alliance reflects PRI’s awareness of a changing multipolar world and its intent to prioritize Mexico’s interests while championing peaceful resolutions to conflicts.
In the context of boosting ties between Mexico and Morocco, Deputy Marcela Guerra has passionately called for enhanced bilateral relations, highlighting the strategic significance of both nations in their respective regions. During her address in the Mexican Chamber of Deputies, Guerra pointed out their roles as conduits to Africa and the Americas, thus contributing to international stability and growth.
Moreover, the unveiling of the Mexican Observatory for Moroccan Sahara on January 20 in Mexico City serves as a new initiative to support Morocco’s territorial integrity within Latin America. The observatory aims to facilitate a deeper understanding of Morocco’s autonomy plan, which has garnered increasing international backing in recent years.
These developments, including PRI’s endorsement and the establishment of the observatory, indicate Latin America’s rising awareness and support for Morocco’s stance on Western Sahara. Together, they reflect a strategic advancement in diplomatic relations between Mexico and Morocco.
The PRI’s endorsement of Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara marks a significant transformation in Mexico’s foreign policy. This decision highlights the strengthening ties between the two nations and reflects a broader trend of increasing support for Morocco’s autonomy plan in Latin America. The establishment of the Mexican Observatory for Moroccan Sahara further cements this commitment and facilitates bilateral cooperation.
