Morocco, under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, has always been committed to achieving peace in the Middle East and defending the rights of the Palestinian people, said High Representative for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), Miguel Angel Moratinos.

“I believe that Morocco’s vision has always been a committed one for peace in the region, defending the rights of the Palestinians while supporting a solution based on two states living side by side in peace and security,” Moratinos told MAP, reacting to the broad-lines of the telephone conversation that His Majesty the King had on Thursday with U.S. President Donald Trump.

“Moroccan diplomacy and His Majesty King Mohammed VI, following the example of the late HM Hassan II, have always made a positive contribution to peace in the region. It is within this framework that Morocco has taken this historic decision” which reinforces its commitment to peace in the Middle East, according to the former European Union Special Envoy for the Middle East Peace Process.

In this regard, Moratinos reiterated the call for the resumption of peace talks between Palestinians and Israelis, with the committed support of the international community.

“I hope that the year 2021 will be a year of peace. It should be remembered that next October will mark the 30th anniversary of the Madrid conference on peace in the Middle East. And let’s hope that we can have a new peace conference that can put an end to this almost one hundred year old conflict”, Spain’s former FM said.

“Indeed, it is time to achieve peace in the region, and I imagine that we will all try to work towards that goal,” he concluded.
