Finland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Elina Valtonen held talks in Rabat on Sunday 01 march 2026 with Morocco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, as both countries moved to reinforce bilateral relations and expand cooperation within the broader framework of Morocco’s partnership with the European Union.
In a joint statement issued after the talks, Finland reiterated its support for the autonomy plan presented by Morocco, considering it a serious and credible contribution to the UN-led political process and good basis to achieve a definitive and mutually acceptable political solution.
Helsinki also reaffirmed Finland’s support for United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797 and for the efforts of the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy to achieve a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution to the issue of the Moroccan Sahara.
