Essaouira:French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs praised Morocco's significant role in promoting coexistence and dialogue as essential elements in the service of peace. Speaking at the 3rd World Forum of Women for Peace, the minister emphasized Morocco as a unique meeting place for cultures, highlighting its contributions to combat intolerance, discrimination, and hatred.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, the minister paid special tribute to the city of Essaouira, recognizing its historical significance and plural identity. Essaouira was lauded as a stronghold against hate speech and intolerance amidst rising global conflicts and a shift towards a culture of war.

The French minister called for a new culture of peace, appreciating the efforts of women, youth, activists, artists, and journalists worldwide in defending dignity, justice, and coexistence. The minister also addressed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, stressing the role of civil societies in maintaining the prospect of a two-state solution. Meetings in Paris between Israeli and Palestinian representatives were noted for their contributions to the New York Declaration, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025.

The World Forum of Women for Peace, continuing until November 14, gathers women leaders, diplomats, and civil society figures to engage in discussions on dialogue, conflict prevention, and women's roles in establishing lasting peace.
