Mohammed VI tour to Africa highlights the dynamic growth of South – South cooperation
Assah Gustave Benjamin – Chairman of the Civic Commission for Africa-:
We admire this enthusiasm that reflects Morocco’s keenness to promote cooperation and effective contribution to progress and prosperity in Africa
Commenting on the Moroccan sovereign visit to Africa, M. Gustave Assah Benjamine, the Chairman of the Civic Commission for Africa- a pan-African development network- said earlier that Morocco’s King Mohammed VI is leading “a development initiative” during his African tour.
Gustave Assah, noted that the official visits paid by King Mohammed VI to several African countries were supportive of the initiative and the course of development in Africa, as they highlight the dynamic growth of South – South cooperation.
The Civic Committee for Africa is a continental network that includes hundreds of associations and NGO working to improve the effectiveness of public Asian support to development in Africa.
On the sidelines of the preparatory ministerial meeting of the 5th Tokyo International Conference for Africa’s Development, which is held Saturday and Sunday in Addis Ababa with the participation of Morocco, the Head of the Civic Commission for Africa said, “We are very proud of the royal visit and we admire this enthusiasm that reflects Morocco’s keenness to promote cooperation and effective contribution to progress and prosperity in Africa.”
Assah said that the official visits of the Moroccan King to Senegal, Ivory Coast and Gabon “reflect Morocco’s determined position towards the process of development in African countries, a position that reaffirms the Kingdom’s commitment to the principles of solidarity and multi-dimensional cooperation.”
Assah noted that “Africa’s Development rests on the shoulders of its children,” and that the visit of the Moroccan Monarch “translates effectively the attention the King accords to the progress of the continent through the completion of infrastructure projects and socio – economic programs,” noting that the “personal commitment” of the Moroccan King translates a desire to strengthen African-African relations, especially in the field of human development.
Morocco’s efforts to give the South-South cooperation a face full of solidarity, result in its continued commitment to noble causes of peace and development, as well as its constant position to express solidarity towards concerns of developing countries, and their aspirations for progress and well-being.
The assistance provided by the kingdom to Sub Saharan countries is between $ 2 and $ 3 billion dirhams (180 to 268 million) per year, mainly for the benefit of African countries in West and Central Africa.
