This visit is part of the strengthening of parliamentary diplomacy and cooperation relations with brotherly and friendly countries that have opened consular representations in the capital of the Moroccan Sahara.
The delegation visited the consulates of the United Arab Emirates, Gabon, Comoros Islands and Sao Tome and Principe.
According to Youssef Gharbi, chairman of the Committee, this visit is an opportunity to express the great gratitude of the representatives of the Moroccan people to these brotherly and friendly countries for their support to the Moroccan Sahara.
Besides their consular mission, these representations will be tasked with consolidating economic relations and trade exchange with Morocco.
Parliamentary diplomacy is inspired by the initiatives of HM King Mohammed VI, which have helped establish strong cooperative relations with African countries, he told the press, stressing the need to strengthen parliamentary cooperation with countries that have opened consulates in Morocco's Southern Provinces, particularly through the creation and activation of parliamentary friendship groups
For her part, MP Souad Zaidi welcomed the growing recognition of the Moroccan Sahara at the international level thanks to the enlightened policy of HM the King, as evidenced by the increasing number of countries that are opening consulates in Laayoune and Dakhla.
In similar comments, MP Allal Amraoui said that this visit is of great importance in the sense that it is the expression of the unanimous mobilization behind the Sovereign for the defense of territorial integrity and the commitment of parliamentarians to the diplomatic momentum which was successful at the regional and international levels.
After Laayoune, the parliamentary delegation will visit several consulates in the city of Dakhla as well as El Guergarat to express their support for the recent intervention of the Royal Armed Forces against "polisario" militias.
