Morocco Proposes New Security Plan for Strait of Gibraltar
Nasser Bourita, the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, affirmed that the management of the Strait of Gibraltar is an international responsibility and not an absolute sovereign right. He called for the development of an international code of conduct to ensure the security of navigation through the strait. He pointed out that the strait witnesses the passage of nearly 100,000 ships annually, averaging about 300 ships per day, making it one of the busiest maritime routes globally, surpassing the traffic of the Suez Canal and other routes. The minister expressed Morocco's rejection of the exploitation of the strait’s location for extortion purposes and proposed establishing a code of conduct that guarantees open and secure maritime passages. He emphasized Morocco's readiness to organize an international forum in cooperation with Bahrain to promote adherence to international law and protect maritime corridors from polarization and threats.
