Speaking at a joint press briefing with Yemeni Foreign Minister Shayea Mohsen Al-Zindani following the 6th session of the Morocco-Yemen Joint Commission, Bourita emphasized that resolving the Yemeni crisis requires a comprehensive political solution that upholds the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Such a solution, he stressed, must be based on UN Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 2216, the Gulf Cooperation Council initiative and its implementation mechanisms, and the outcomes of the Yemeni national dialogue.

Morocco rejects any foreign interference in Yemen, particularly Iran’s support for the Houthi militias, which, according to Bourita, threatens Yemen’s sovereignty, stability, and national unity.

In this regard, he underlined that any resolution must respect the will of the Yemeni people and their legitimate authorities, urging regional and international actors to support Yemen rather than impose solutions from the outside.

Bourita also highlighted the humanitarian dimension of the crisis, stressing the commitment of HM King Mohammed VI to alleviating the suffering of the Yemeni people. He recalled Morocco’s financial contribution to the 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan for Yemen, made upon High Royal Instructions.

The minister called on the international community to assist Yemen’s legitimate government in meeting the needs of its people, reiterating Morocco’s willingness to contribute to global humanitarian efforts in the country.
