Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, reaffirmed Thursday in Rabat Morocco’s commitment to accompany the Central African Republic (CAR) for its stability and future development.
Morocco currently deploys 762 peacekeepers within the United Nations Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) and presides at the United Nations level the CAR configuration since 2014, Bourita told the press following his talks with his Central African counterpart, Sylvie Baïpo-Temon, and the signing ceremony of three cooperation agreements.
“Morocco pays a vibrant tribute to the CAR President who was able, thanks to his determination and courage, to reach an agreement with the armed groups, while ensuring the success of the upcoming elections that will be historic for the future of this country,” Morocco’s FM said.
Morocco’s action is an action of solidarity with the Central African people within the framework of technical cooperation and academic training, he said, stressing that the Kingdom has always been on the side of the Central African people.
On the academic and health cooperation between the two countries, Bourita stated that “130 scholarships are awarded each year for the training of Central Africans in Morocco and actions are carried out at the local level, particularly for the rehabilitation of the Bangui hospital by the Kingdom.”
Regarding the three cooperation agreements signed by Morocco and the CAR, Bourita said that “they strengthen the legal framework of our relations”.
“The aim is to work on the implementation of all the agreements signed during the joint commission and were completed by today’s agreements,” he explained.
The minister reiterated his thanks to the CAR for its consistent position supporting the Moroccanity of the Sahara, which was materialized at the beginning of this year through the opening of a consulate in the southern provinces.
“This position has always been active, both on a bilateral basis within the African Union, or within the framework of the United Nations and other regional and international organizations,” Bourita stressed.
