A Moroccan parliamentary delegation is currently on a working visit to the United Kingdom at the invitation of Heather Wheeler, President of the Moroccan-British Parliamentary Friendship Group in the House of Commons.
During this visit, the parliamentary delegation held a series of important meetings with the Deputy Speaker of the British House of Commons, Nigel Evans, the member of the European Affairs Committee of the British House of Lords, Lord Jeremy Purvis, the international activist in the field of women’s and children’s rights and in the field of international peace and security, Baroness Mary Goudie, and the director of the MENA region at the British Foreign Office, Ambassador Stephen Hickey, said the parliament in a statement.
These meetings were an opportunity to highlight the excellent parliamentary relations between the legislative institutions of the two countries and to welcome the opening by the two kingdoms of a new phase of cooperation, dialogue and economic partnership, said the same source.
It also added that the members of the parliamentary delegation also stressed the importance of conducting parliamentary visits between the two legislative institutions in order to exchange expertise and share experiences, while strengthening communication and joint coordination during multilateral international events in which the parliaments of both countries participate.
The Moroccan parliamentary delegation also highlighted the various joint governmental projects and activities currently overseen by bilateral cooperation mechanisms, such as the Strategic Dialogue launched in 2018 and the Business Dialogue launched in 2020.
During the various meetings, it was proposed to establish a Moroccan-UK parliamentary forum, which would serve as a framework for parliamentary cooperation to monitor and accompany the main governmental projects between the two countries and promote bilateral relations.
The delegation is also expected to hold meetings with members of the Parliamentary Women’s Group and the Mayor of Westminster of Moroccan origin, Hamza Taouzzale, in addition to visiting the headquarters of the British Parliament and attending the plenary session with the Prime Minister at the House of Commons.
