The Republic of Guatemala opened a consulate general in Dakhla on Thursday, thus marking its firm support for Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara and its territorial integrity.
The inauguration ceremony was chaired by the Guatemalan Minister of Foreign Affairs Mario Adolfo Búcaro and the wali of the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region, governor of the province of Oued Eddahab, Lamine Benomar, in the presence of many elected officials and consuls accredited in Dakhla.
The opening of this new foreign diplomatic representation will bring to 28 the number of consulates opened in the southern provinces (16 in Dakhla and 12 in Laâyoune).
