They also praised the Initiative of the Atlantic African States, launched by His Majesty the King, may God Glorify Him, as an African partnership process aimed at strengthening cooperation and integration among African countries bordering the Atlantic Ocean, with the goal of fostering peace, stability, and shared prosperity in the region.
In this regard, the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers also lauded the role of His Majesty King Mohammed VI as the African Union’s Leader on Migration, as well as Morocco’s continued role as a “Champion Country” for the implementation of the Global Compact for Migration.
In the area of counterterrorism, the ministers welcomed the designation of the Kingdom of Morocco by the United Nations as a partner to host the United Nations Office for Counter-Terrorism and Training in Africa, inaugurated on June 24, 2021, in Rabat.
They also praised Morocco’s experience through its chairmanship of the Africa Focus Group within the Global Coalition against Daesh, and all efforts undertaken by the Kingdom at both regional and international levels.
On this occasion, Morocco was elected as a member of the OIC’s Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission for a three-year term, in recognition of the Kingdom’s prominent role in promoting and protecting human rights both nationally and internationally.
