“I would like to express the great appreciation of the Commonwealth of Dominica for the vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI for a South-South cooperation, based on effectiveness, solidarity and pragmatism”, Henderson told the press following his talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita.

   He also underlined that the Commonwealth of Dominica has enormously benefited from its cooperation with the Kingdom of Morocco in this context.

   “Over the years, and thanks to the reinforced diplomatic relations between the two countries, we have benefited from the development of human resources, scholarships for Dominican students in Morocco and technical assistance in agriculture, among others,” he pointed out.

   Regarding the Moroccan Sahara issue, Henderson reaffirmed the Commonwealth of Dominica’s continued support for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco over its entire territory, including the Moroccan Sahara, reiterating his country's support for the autonomy initiative presented by the Kingdom in 2007.
