Following their bilateral meeting, Bourita and his guest highlighted Sierra Leone’s consistent support for Morocco’s territorial integrity, pointing in particular to the country’s historic vote in favor of UN Security Council Resolution 2797 in October 2025, when it held a seat on the Council.
“We reaffirm our firm and consistent position of full support for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom and its sovereignty over all its territory, including the Moroccan Sahara,” Swaray said.
He also recalled the opening of Sierra Leone’s Consulate General in Dakhla on August 30, 2021, describing it as “a concrete symbol of solidarity and support for the autonomy plan proposed by Morocco as the only serious, credible and realistic solution to the dispute” artificially created by the regime in Algiers.
Swaray also expressed his country’s willingness to “strengthen trade exchanges and sector-specific investment in mining, agriculture and value chains.” He said the two countries would soon hold the fourth session of their joint bilateral commission and thanked Morocco for the scholarships it has awarded to students from Freetown.
For his part, Bourita announced that the two sides had signed a new two-year cooperation roadmap. It provides for another meeting of the joint bilateral commission, following the previous session in Laayoune in 2023, to “set concrete objectives in the economic, diplomatic and security fields.”
The Moroccan foreign minister warmly thanked his guest for Sierra Leone’s support for Morocco’s national cause and its sovereignty over the Southern Provinces.
Swaray was also received by Ahmed Touizi, president of Morocco’s House of Representatives.
