Relationship context
Overview
Hungary has supported Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara as a basis for resolving the dispute, rather than endorsing Sahrawi independence. This is a concrete position on the territory’s political status, but it does not establish a broader pattern of direct Hungarian-Sahrawi government relations. Information about the Sahrawi government’s policy and conduct toward Hungary is insufficient to assess that relationship.
Areas of tension
- The dispute over Western Sahara’s political status, including Morocco’s autonomy proposal and Sahrawi claims to independence.

Major uncertainties
