On May 20, 2026, Madagascar reaffirmed its support for Morocco's territorial integrity during a diplomatic meeting in Antananarivo. The statement, issued by the Malagasy Ministry of Foreign Affairs, emphasized solidarity with Morocco's position on the Western Sahara dispute, backing the autonomy plan proposed by Morocco as a solution.
The reaffirmation came during a visit by a Moroccan delegation, led by Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita, who met with Malagasy President Andry Rajoelina. Both sides discussed bilateral cooperation and regional stability, with Madagascar expressing full support for Morocco's sovereignty over its entire territory, including the Sahara region.
This move aligns with Madagascar's consistent foreign policy stance, as the country has previously supported Morocco's territorial claims in international forums. The statement did not include new commitments or specific actions beyond the verbal support.
