Morocco is fully committed to supporting developing countries, including Small Island Developing States (SIDS), Least Developed Countries (LDCs), and Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), through concrete and effective South-South cooperation, the Kingdom’s Deputy Permanent Representative to UN agencies in Rome, Abdellah Larhmaid, said Sunday.
Speaking at the 44th FAO Conference in Rome, Larhmaid highlighted the Kingdom’s contribution in key areas such as sustainable agriculture, fisheries, irrigation management, renewable energy, vocational training, and food systems transformation—particularly with African partners.
Larhmaid pointed to landmark initiatives including the Climate Commissions for the Congo Basin, the Sahel, and Island States, launched at COP22 in Marrakech in 2016, as proof of Morocco’s long-term commitment to African-led development.
He also underscored the strategic Royal Atlantic Initiative, aimed at integrating the Sahel into the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and transforming it into a development corridor anchored in sustainability, innovation, and infrastructure.
Morocco’s approach, he said, is based on solidarity and the sharing of practical, partner-aligned solutions, calling for increased technology transfer and investment in food production, climate adaptation, and market access to help vulnerable countries strengthen food security and resilience.
