Morocco Intensifies Parliamentary Diplomacy to Bolster Sahara Position
In a recent address, King Mohammed VI of Morocco emphasized the crucial role of parliamentary diplomacy in advancing the nation's stance on the Sahara issue. This call to action has prompted key figures in Morocco's government to outline strategies for strengthening the country's diplomatic efforts on the international stage.
Rachid Talbi El Alami, president of the Moroccan House of Representatives, highlighted the need for a more strategic and professional approach to parliamentary diplomacy. Speaking to Medi 1 TV, El Alami stressed the importance of reviewing and enhancing the capabilities of Moroccan parliamentarians representing the country in international forums.
The King's speech, delivered during the opening of the first session of the fourth year of the 11th legislative term, underscored the necessity for continued vigilance and mobilization. "Despite all that has been achieved, the next stage requires further mobilization and vigilance on the part of everyone," the monarch stated, emphasizing the goal of consolidating Morocco's position and countering opposition to its territorial claims.
El Alami revealed that the Moroccan Parliament is actively engaged in 18 multilateral parliamentary forums across Europe, Latin America, and Africa. This extensive participation allows Morocco to consistently advocate for its territorial integrity, particularly concerning the Sahara dispute.
The House of Representatives President also noted significant progress in garnering international support for Morocco's position on the Sahara. He praised the backing received from permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, such as France and the United States, who have recognized Morocco's sovereignty over the region. Additionally, several countries, including Spain, have demonstrated support through official statements and by opening consulates in Laayoune and Dakhla.
King Mohammed VI's address also highlighted the importance of continued efforts to educate and inform the remaining countries that oppose Morocco's stance on the Sahara. This emphasis on diplomatic outreach aligns with the broader strategy of using parliamentary channels to build international consensus.
As Morocco continues to navigate the complex landscape of international diplomacy, the focus on strengthening parliamentary representation and engagement appears to be a key component of its strategy to solidify its position on the Sahara issue. The coming months are likely to see increased diplomatic activity as Moroccan parliamentarians work to implement this vision on the global stage.
