Morocco’s ambassador, permanent representative to the United Nations, Omar Hilale, affirmed on Wednesday in Doha that civil society is a key partner in developing a shared vision for global social development.
Speaking at a Civil Society Forum held on the sidelines of the 2nd World Summit for Social Development, Hilale stressed that civil society is a crucial partner at every stage of the process toward achieving social development — “not only as an observer, but as a fully committed player in crafting our shared vision of renewed social development.”
In this regard, the Moroccan diplomat underscored the importance of ensuring a participatory and inclusive follow-up to this global summit, so that civil society remains an active stakeholder in the implementation process and in ensuring accountability.
He praised the contribution, perseverance, and dedication of civil society in advancing social development and global social justice.
Calling for the Doha Political Declaration to be translated into bold action, Hilale emphasized that the summit should serve as a starting point to transform the Declaration into concrete and ambitious commitments.
The Summit is being held from November 4 to 6 in Doha, with the participation of representatives of United Nations Member States, including Morocco, as well as regional and international institutions.
The event aims to renew international commitment to achieving social justice, eradicating poverty, and strengthening employment and social inclusion opportunities, within the framework of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This Declaration represents a decisive step toward consolidating social development on a global scale. It also reflects the forward-looking and unified vision of the two Kingdoms, Morocco and Belgium, which successfully brought together differing viewpoints while promoting the renewal of the international community’s commitment to advancing social development.
