Here follows a statement by the Royal Office:
"By Order of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, a meeting chaired by Advisors of His Majesty the King, Talb Fassi Fihri, Omar Azziman and Fouad Ali El Himma, took place on Monday, November 10, 2025 at the Royal Office, with heads of national parties represented in both Houses of Parliament, attended by the Minister of Interior and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates.
In accordance with the Very High Instructions of His Majesty the King, this meeting was devoted to updating and detailing the formulation of the autonomy initiative, within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty, in execution of the Royal Decision outlined in the Speech addressed by the Sovereign to His faithful people on October 31, following the adoption of Resolution 2797 by the Security Council.
This meeting is part of the steadfast commitment of His Majesty the King, may God glorify Him, towards implementing a participatory approach and broad consultation, in all matters concerning the country’s major causes.
In this regard, Advisors of His Majesty the King informed the heads of political parties present of the Sovereign’s willingness to consult them on this crucial issue to all Moroccans, urging them to submit their organizations' visions and proposals regarding the updating and detailed formulation of the autonomy initiative.
During this meeting, the heads of political parties welcomed the positive developments in the Moroccan Sahara issue, expressing pride in the Royal Decision to involve national political bodies, various institutions, and driving forces of the nation to develop an integrated, updated and detailed vision for the autonomy initiative in the Moroccan Sahara, within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty, capable of guaranteeing the return of our brothers from the Tindouf camps, reuniting them with their families, building their future, and contributing to managing their local affairs, within a unified Morocco, as His Majesty the King emphasized in His recent Speech.
They also expressed their continued commitment, under the wise leadership of His Majesty the King, and their full support for the initiatives and tireless efforts that the Sovereign has consistently undertaken to defend the legitimate rights of our country to consolidate the Moroccanness of the Sahara. These efforts have been rewarded by the adoption of the recent Security Council resolution, which enshrines the Moroccan autonomy initiative as a realistic and achievable solution, within the framework of the Kingdom's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national unity, as the basis for negotiations to achieve a final resolution of this regional conflict.
In response to this generous Royal Invitation, the heads of political parties affirmed their commitment to submit memoranda on this subject to His Majesty the King in His August Person as soon as possible."
