Rabat, Lusaka Share Common Vision for Peace and Stability in Africa (Official)

Morocco and Zambia share a common vision for the consolidation of peace and stability as well as respect for the sovereignty of states in Africa, said secretary of state to the minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Mounia Boucetta.

"Zambia, which remains a potential gateway to the Southern African region, shares with Morocco a common vision and willingness for the consolidation of peace, stability and respect for the sovereignty of states as well as for the promotion of democracy in our continent," said Boucetta, who is leading a delegation on a working visit to Lusaka, as part of the follow-up of the partnership agreements signed during HM King Mohammed VI's visit to this country last February.

The Moroccan official, who co-chaired a meeting with public and private sector representatives involved in the agreements, highlighted the importance of bringing the two countries together.

"This strong, strategic and dynamic rapprochement must enable the private and public sectors of our two countries to play an important role in the development of trade," she said.

"Morocco is always ready to share with Zambia its experience in different fields to facilitate and develop bilateral exchanges in all areas of common interest," Boucetta added.

Zambia is the final stage of a tour that has already led the Moroccan delegation to Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania and Madagascar.
