Morocco’s Development Experience in Southern Provinces, Continental Model – CEMAC Parliament President
Laayoune - Morocco's development experience, particularly in the Southern Provinces, stands as a model at the continental level, said the President of the Parliament of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC), Évariste Ngamana, on Thursday in Laayoune.
In a statement to the press during a visit to several development projects in Laayoune, accompanied by the Speaker of the House of Councillors, Mohamed Ould Errachid, members of the CEMAC Parliament, and economic actors from several African countries, Ngamana praised the significant efforts made by Morocco to develop the region through major infrastructure projects in areas such as education, sports, health, and industry, among others.
The completed projects, including the Phosboucraa industrial platform and the Mohammed VI Grand Library of Laayoune, which were among the sites visited, contribute to job creation, particularly for young people.
“The cooperation ties currently being established between the CEMAC countries and the Kingdom of Morocco will be further strengthened through various initiatives we are undertaking,” he noted, emphasizing that reinforcing this cooperation will foster regional integration.
This partnership serves the development goals of the African continent and commended the enlightened Vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI and the Royal Initiatives in support of South-South cooperation, he added.
On the Moroccan Sahara issue, the CEMAC President reiterated the position of Central African countries—namely Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Chad—in support of the Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara, stressing that “this position has never changed.”
This visit takes place on the eve of the Parliamentary Forum on Economic Cooperation between the Kingdom and the CEMAC Parliament, whose proceedings will be held Friday in Laayoune under the High Patronage of His Majesty the King.
