The Kingdom has succeeded in consolidating its international standing as a responsible and reliable partner committed to fulfilling its obligations. It expects the same from its partners.
The balanced approach adopted by our country to manage the migration phenomenon has produced tangible results.
However, we must acknowledge, with all due courage and objectivity, that the current cooperation model in this area has become outdated. The recurring crises are a clear testimony to this.
This applies to our neighbor, Spain. Our partnership with that country has witnessed significant developments in various sectors, including the fight against illegal migration.
However, this cooperation is currently facing significant challenges stemming from some obsolete legal provisions and unrealistic judicial rulings.
They are regrettably impeding the repatriation of minors and of fake asylum seekers, while fueling the greed of criminal networks.
Considering the irresponsible statements and the blatant exploitation of the issue by some political and media circles, I wish to point out that this partnership is a sovereign choice and a voluntary commitment. It will never be subject to any pressure, threat, or blackmail.
In this regard, Morocco will present a document to its partners setting out a clear and practical strategic vision that paves the way for a new direction which promotes shared development, economic competitiveness, and regional stability.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Distinguished Members of Parliament, as you know, the parliamentary mandate is a political commitment and a moral contract binding you to the citizens.
May God guide your steps so that you may live up to this national responsibility that you bear before God, the citizens and history, in keeping with words of the Almighty: ”He that does good shall have ten times as much to his credit”. True is the Word of God.
Wassalamou alaikoum warahmatoullahi wabarakatouh." (PERSISMA/Ed)
