Preserving cultural heritage: the role of Morocco and king Mohammed VI in supporting Palestine

Sa Majesté le Roi Mohammed VI is steadfastly committed to defending the Palestinian cause and supporting the people of the Holy City. Through the presidency of the Al-Quds Committee and the efforts of the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Acharif Agency, Morocco is making significant strides in preserving the cultural and civilizational identity of Al-Quds while aiding its residents in their daily struggles.

The initiatives of the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Acharif Agency encompass heritage preservation projects, the rehabilitation of cultural infrastructures, and the promotion of creative sectors. These efforts exemplify a consistent and tangible commitment, reflecting a clear intention to bolster the resilience of the Maqdessis in the face of ongoing challenges.

Moreover, Morocco's role, under the guidance of Sa Majesté, extends to the protection and enhancement of cultural heritage on a global Islamic scale. Achievements in this realm, including the inclusion of various Moroccan heritage elements on the ICESCO list, underscore the Kingdom's leadership in preserving shared cultural legacies.

Cultural cooperation, facilitated by strategic platforms such as the Conference of Ministers of Culture in the Islamic World, highlights the significance of collective action in promoting Islamic cultural identity, supporting creative industries, and contributing to sustainable development through culture. In this context, Morocco continues to play a pivotal role, driven by the enlightened vision of Sa Majesté.
