Morocco has formally submitted its candidacy to chair the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission starting in January, the country’s UN ambassador Omar Hilale said on Saturday in Dakhla.

Hilale told participants at the 5th annual MD Sahara Forum that assuming the presidency would allow Morocco to bring an “authentically African perspective” to UN peacebuilding priorities and ensure the continent’s concerns are more accurately reflected.

The announcement was made during a session on Morocco’s diplomatic role in supporting peace, stability and African cooperation, held under the patronage of King Mohammed VI.
