Bourita Holds Talks with Honduran Foreign Minister on Bilateral and Regional Issues

New York, The Gulf Observer: Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita held talks with Honduran Foreign Minister Mireya Agüero de Corrales in New York on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly.

The meeting focused on bilateral cooperation between Morocco and Honduras, as well as regional and international issues of common interest. The two ministers also discussed avenues for further strengthening relations between Rabat and Tegucigalpa.

The talks followed Honduras’ decision in April 2026 to suspend its recognition of the self-proclaimed “Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic” (SADR). The decision was formally communicated to Minister Bourita through an official letter from Foreign Minister Agüero de Corrales, and Honduras also notified UN Secretary-General António Guterres of the move.

According to the reported account, Tegucigalpa described the decision as a sovereign measure based on its stated principles of non-interference and respect for the internal affairs of states. Honduras had established recognition of the SADR in 1989 and had reaffirmed that position in 2022.

The New York meeting forms part of Morocco’s diplomatic engagements on the margins of the UN General Assembly, where Bourita has held discussions with a number of foreign counterparts on bilateral cooperation and regional issues.

Morocco World News also reported that, during the same period, Morocco held diplomatic discussions with representatives of Chile and Panama concerning Western Sahara, including their respective positions on Morocco’s proposed autonomy plan. These developments were presented as part of broader diplomatic activity surrounding the issue.

The meeting between Bourita and Agüero de Corrales underscores the continued diplomatic engagement between Morocco and Honduras and the two countries’ efforts to advance bilateral cooperation while exchanging views on regional and international matters.
