Our mission

The British Government regards the status of Western Sahara as undetermined. We support the UN-led efforts to achieve a lasting and mutually acceptable political solution that provides for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara.

There is no British diplomatic presence in Western Sahara. If you need consular assistance you should contact the British Embassy in Rabat.
