- MINURSO’s mandate was extended for one year, and the UN Secretary‑General was asked to present a strategic review within six months.
- The United States sponsored the draft with support from the United Kingdom and France, and senior U.S. adviser Masad Boulos urged immediate talks, calling the plan serious and realistic.
