Morocco’s solidarity strategy towards the African continent to cope with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic was highlighted, Thursday in Tokyo, by Morocco’s Ambassador to Japan, Rachad Bouhlal.
The Covid-19 pandemic has proven more than ever that the solidarity of all is essential to overcome the multiple challenges facing the African continent, he said at a virtual meeting held by Morocco’s Embassy in Japan in the presence of the Governor of the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), Tadashi Maeda, and African ambassadors accredited in Tokyo.
In that regard, Bouhlal recalled that Morocco’s strategy has always been marked by solidarity with its continental environment. Upon the high instructions of HM King Mohammed VI, Morocco dispatched past June emergency medical assistance to twenty African countries to support their efforts to fight against the pandemic, he said.
The diplomat noted that Morocco is the first African country to have launched a national vaccination campaign against Covid-19. To date some 4,244,651 people, including foreign residents have benefited from the vaccination against the virus.
Morocco’s experience in this regard has been welcomed by several international stakeholders, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank, he said, voicing the Kingdom’s readiness to share its experience with African countries.
In line with the vision of HM the King, Morocco believes that strengthening the resilience of the African continent against epidemics and fostering economic recovery hinges on the development of economic recovery plans and innovative post-Covid sectoral strategies for an inclusive economy and sustainable economic and human development, the diplomat concluded.
