The conference is expected to culminate in the adoption of the “Seville Commitment”, a landmark reference document focused on:
- Fair representation of developing nations in international financial bodies
- Doubling the lending capacity of development banks
- Strengthening global cooperation to combat tax evasion
Morocco’s Role and Vision
Morocco’s strong participation in the conference highlights the Kingdom’s ongoing commitment to inclusive development, sustainable economic reform, and the promotion of global economic justice, particularly for countries of the Global South.
The Kingdom continues to advocate for a multilateral approach that empowers developing nations to confront today’s economic challenges and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
