Thanks to the wisdom and foresight of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara is gaining growing international support, said the President of the Andean Parliament, Gustavo Pacheco Villar.
In an interview with MAP on the sidelines of the 3rd International Forum of Young Socialist and Social Democratic Parliamentarians, held in Marrakech on May 2-3, Pacheco Villar emphasized that the foresight of the Sovereign's Vision is reflected in the support of major world powers such as the United States of America, France and Spain for Morocco's sovereignty over its Sahara.
In this respect, he noted the growing support of Latin American countries for the Kingdom's position, while reiterating the Andean Parliament's support for Morocco's territorial integrity and sovereignty over its Southern Provinces.
He also highlighted the progress and impressive development momentum of these provinces.
“I visited the Kingdom's southern provinces and was impressed by the development projects carried out or launched in the various towns,” stated the President of the Andean Parliament, citing in particular the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy in Laayoune and the Dakhla Atlantic Port.
In the same vein, he highlighted the Royal Atlantic Initiative, which aims to open up new prospects for Sahelo-Saharan countries and boost a sustainable regional economic dynamic, as well as the Nigeria-Morocco gas pipeline project, noting that these innovative initiatives make the Kingdom a major player in consolidating and promoting South-South cooperation.
Morocco's active presence in Africa and its various actions and initiatives in favor of the continent's countries also reflect the Kingdom's unwavering commitment to lasting cooperation, he affirmed.
Referring to the various reforms carried out in the Kingdom under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty the King, Pacheco Villar said that Morocco had taken major steps towards consolidating the rule of law, notably through the adoption of the 2011 Constitution and the empowerment of women.
