Morocco’s Ambassador to Peru Amin Chaoudri highlighted the Kingdom’s policy on immigration and asylum which is based on a humane, integrated and comprehensive approach.
Speaking at a meeting held virtually under the theme “Venezuelan immigration in Peru: challenges and opportunities”, Chaoudri said that Morocco’s commitment is illustrated through its contribution to regional and international efforts in the management of this phenomenon as well as the sharing of its experience with its international partners.
He recalled the development of an effective strategy by the Kingdom for the implementation of the Global Compact for a safe, orderly and regular migration.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, Morocco has become a host country for migrants from different regions of the world, he said, noting that Morocco’s transformation into a host and residence country reflects its stability and security as well as its sustained economic growth.
Morocco, under the insightful leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, has established a new immigration policy according to a humane, integrated, and comprehensive approach, the diplomat said, pointing out to the Constitution of the Kingdom which includes articles related to immigration and the residence of foreign nationals, to non-discrimination and to the right of asylum and equality of rights for Moroccan and foreign citizens.
As part of the National Strategy for Immigration and Asylum, Morocco adopted a series of measures to protect the rights and fundamental freedoms of migrants, Chaoudri noted.
This strategy has allowed, following a participatory approach, to facilitate the integration of migrants, strengthen the legal arsenal, create an appropriate institutional framework and manage migration flows with respect to human rights, he added.
The strategy includes 11 programs, notably education, health, housing, social and humanitarian assistance, vocational training, employment, management of migrant flows, and the fight against human trafficking, he highlighted, recalling that Morocco has regularized the status of some 50,000 immigrants.
