Mohamed Sabbari, First Deputy-Speaker of Morocco’s House of Representatives, met on Monday in Rabat with a delegation from the Jordanian House of Representatives, led by Nimer Abdul Hamid Abdullah Al-Fuqaha Al-Abbad, Chairman of the Finance Committee.
The visit forms part of a cooperation program between the Jordanian Parliament and the Westminster Foundation for Democracy, aimed at strengthening parliamentary practices, particularly in financial oversight.
Sabbari emphasized the strong ties between Morocco and Jordan, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI and HM King Abdullah II, and reiterated Morocco’s commitment to enhancing bilateral cooperation at the legislative level, according to a press release from the Moroccan Parliament.
He underscored the importance of deepening exchanges between parliamentary committees and reinforcing the work of the Morocco-Jordan Parliamentary Friendship Group. He also praised Jordan’s consistent support for Morocco’s territorial integrity and the autonomy plan proposed by Rabat to resolve the dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.
For his part, Al-Fuqaha said the visit offers an opportunity to learn from Morocco’s experience in parliamentary financial oversight and voiced Jordan’s interest in fostering closer institutional ties between committees and friendship groups from both parliaments.
The Jordanian delegation’s visit is aimed at expanding collaboration and aligning parliamentary practices in line with the aspirations of both heads of state and the interests of the two nations’ peoples, the same source added.
