Highlighting the historical, cultural, and strategic ties between France and Morocco, Braun-Pivet emphasized her country’s dedication to supporting the Kingdom in addressing its “existential challenges,” she stated unequivocally:

“The present and future of the Sahara lie within Moroccan sovereignty.”
