Speaking at the general debate of the 4th Committee, the Emirati representative, Asmae El Hamadi, reiterated her country's support for the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco with a view to reaching a consensual solution to the conflict over the Moroccan Sahara.

She also praised Morocco's efforts aimed at reaching a final solution, "efforts that the Security Council has, in all its resolutions since 2007 until that of 2018 (2114), deemed as serious and credible to move towards a settlement".

She also expressed her country's support for the ongoing political process under the exclusive aegis of the UN Secretary-General and the facilitation of her Personal Envoy with a view to finding a consensual and mutually agreed political solution to the Sahara issue.

The Emirati representative noted, in this regard, that Morocco's "rapid and positive interaction with the initiative of the Secretary-General's Personal Envoy for the Sahara "is part of its continued determination to seek a fair and lasting political solution to the Sahara conflict."
