Peru perceives Morocco not only as "a reliable partner," but also as a model of stability, strategic vision, and constructive leadership, according to Peruvian Congresswoman Rosangella Barbarán.
"From Peru, we observe with great admiration Morocco’s modern, effective, and deeply humanistic diplomacy, which has made the country not only a trusted partner but also a model in a constantly evolving world," she told MAP-Buenos Aires on the occasion of the 26th anniversary of the enthronement of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
In this context, she welcomed the genuine structural transformation Morocco has undergone thanks to a sustained policy of investment in infrastructure, which has not only modernized the country but also redefined its regional and international positioning.
"This transformation stems from His Majesty King Mohammed VI's strategic vision, aimed at strengthening the Kingdom’s role as a bridge between Africa, Europe, and the Americas," the MP noted, adding that the most emblematic project they visited recently is undoubtedly the Tanger Med Port, a world-class logistics platform that has positioned Morocco as a maritime powerhouse.
Another project that caught the Peruvian MP’s attention is the high-speed rail line, the first of its kind in Africa. "Its design and execution in record time are truly impressive," she remarked.
In the same spirit, she continued, Morocco has chosen to turn the city of Dakhla into a new maritime hub through the construction of the Dakhla Atlantic Port. This infrastructure will strengthen the Kingdom’s integration with African and Latin American markets and reinforce the strategic role of the southern provinces as an intercontinental connection platform.
She also noted that Morocco boasts a vast network of modern highways and international-standard airport infrastructure, making it the leading air hub on the African continent.
On the diplomatic front, Barbarán emphasized that the Kingdom has emerged as a central and respected player in Africa, the Arab world, and globally, thanks to its proactive and dialogue-driven diplomacy.
She stressed that Morocco has successfully balanced the firm defense of its national interests, particularly its territorial integrity, with an intelligent and constructive openness to the world.
In this context, she noted that the autonomy plan presented by Morocco in 2007 to the United Nations to resolve the Sahara issue has received broad international support, with over 120 countries backing the proposal.
These include key players such as the United States, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, and a growing number of countries across various continents, including Latin America.
Barbarán also highlighted Morocco’s commitment to strengthening multilateralism and building strong ties with Latin America, pointing out that Morocco’s admission as an observer member of the Andean Community marked a significant step.
This has been reinforced by its participation in other regional organizations such as the Latin American Parliament (Parlatino), the Andean Parliament (Parlandino), the Organization of American States (OAS), and the Pacific Alliance, among others.
Regarding the status of women, she praised the empowerment process of women in Morocco, which constitutes one of the pillars of the deep legal and institutional reforms that have structurally and sustainably transformed the role of women in Moroccan society.
"This entire process embodies Morocco’s determined will to build an inclusive society, where women’s leadership represents not only progress toward equality but also a driving force for social cohesion and the overall advancement of the Kingdom," Barbarán concluded.
