Morocco plays a key role in the field of migration, said Amy Pope, Director-General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), on Tuesday in Rabat.
In a statement to the press following her talks with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, Pope emphasized that Morocco is an important actor in this area, notably thanks to the initiatives undertaken by the Kingdom to promote the integration of migrants.
In this regard, the UN senior official praised Morocco’s best practices and exemplary efforts to ensure the integration of migrants through sports- especially football- as well as the promotion of the return of Moroccan talents living abroad, enabling them to fully contribute to the development of their country.
Describing cooperation between the IOM and Morocco as “a priority and exemplary,” Pope noted that the Kingdom is the first country in the world to support the Organization’s Resilience Fund, which allows it to address the multiple challenges it faces in an increasingly volatile environment.
Morocco is the country where the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration was launched, she recalled, adding that the Kingdom continues to advocate for a comprehensive, strategic, and balanced approach to migration.
