Morocco Re-elected Member of FAO Council in Rome
Rome - Morocco was re-elected on Friday in Rome as a member of the Council of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) for a new term covering the period from July 1, 2026, until the end of the 46th session of the FAO Conference, scheduled for 2029.
This re-election, represented by the Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Kingdom to the UN agencies in Rome, Youssef Balla, took place during the 44th session of the FAO Conference, held in Rome from June 28 to July 4.
Morocco has been one of the 12 countries representing the Africa region on the Council since June 30, 2023.
The Kingdom was initially set to complete its current term on the Council on June 30, 2026. However, the renewed confidence of African member states earned it a new term, reflecting their recognition of Morocco’s ongoing commitment to food security, sustainable agricultural development, and South-South cooperation across the African continent.
Composed of 49 members, the Council is the executive body of the FAO Conference, responsible for ensuring the implementation of the Organization’s activities between its plenary sessions.
