Sweden has officially expressed its support for Morocco’s Autonomy Plan for Western Sahara, describing it as a credible and realistic basis for reaching a final solution to the long-running regional dispute.
The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced this position after a phone call on Monday 19 January 2026 between Sweden’s Foreign Minister, Maria Malmer Stenergard, and her Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita.
Sweden said its stance is in line with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797, adopted on October 31, 2025.
According to the statement, Sweden considers the Moroccan autonomy initiative to be a serious and credible proposal that can serve as the foundation for negotiations under the supervision of the United Nations.
With this announcement, Sweden joins the large majority of European Union member states that support Morocco’s Autonomy Plan. It also aligns with more than two-thirds of UN member countries that have publicly backed the initiative in recent years.
