This initiative is part of Morocco’s efforts to strengthen its partnership with the UN in counter-terrorism, following the high directives of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
The partnership focuses on enhancing cooperation with the UN, particularly in Africa, where Morocco seeks to bolster its role as a key regional force in peace and security.
The dialogue was co-chaired by Morocco’s Foreign Minister, Nasser Bourita, and the UN Under-Secretary-General for Counter-Terrorism, Vladimir Voronkov.
