In a resounding affirmation of its strategic position within the Euro-Mediterranean nexus, Morocco has secured an emphatic re-election as the vice-president of the Executive Committee of the North-South Centre, an esteemed institution operating under the aegis of the Council of Europe. This unanimous decision, taken during the 32nd meeting of the Executive Committee convened in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, resonates as a testament to the Kingdom's unwavering commitment to fostering global interdependence and solidarity.

The renewal of the country's vice-presidency for a further two-year term underscores the robust and multidimensional relations between Rabat and the Council of Europe. This vote of confidence not only solidifies Morocco's position as a trusted and credible partner of the North-South Center but also serves as a resounding endorsement of the Kingdom's enduring dedication to achieving the Centre's multifaceted missions and fostering a shared sense of ownership in its actions.

In a statement issued by Morocco's Consulate General in Strasbourg, this re-election is hailed as a resounding recognition of the Kingdom's pioneering role in promoting intercultural dialogue and establishing effective horizontality in confronting global challenges. It stands as an unequivocal affirmation of the strategic position that Morocco occupies within the various dynamics of the Euro-Mediterranean region.

A report further emphasized that the renewal of Morocco's mandate as the vice-president of this executive statutory body once again underscores the trust and credibility that the policies spearheaded by Morocco under the visionary leadership of King Mohammed VI have garnered on the global stage. These policies, which prioritize reformism, democratic renewal, strengthening good governance and the rule of law, and promoting universally recognized human rights, have firmly established Morocco as a beacon of progress and stability.

Representing Morocco at the 32nd meeting of the Executive Committee of the North-South Centre was Omar Amghar, the Consul General of Morocco in Strasbourg, who oversees relations with the Council of Europe.
