Rabat: Morocco’s Lower House closed the first session of the 2024-2025 legislative year on Tuesday. In an address on the occasion, the Lower House Speaker, Rachid Talbi Alami, highlighted that the session aimed at further entrenching Morocco as an emerging power under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, the Speaker reminded that the Sovereign had emphasized the importance of mobilization and vigilance to strengthen the country’s position, promote the legitimacy of its cause, and counter the maneuvers of its foes. The session placed significant focus on building Morocco’s ties with Africa, stressing the importance of strengthening cooperation with the continent’s parliaments.

The House of Representatives has hosted numerous parliamentary delegations, underscoring its commitment to African collaboration. The efforts were highlighted by hosting the meeting of the Presidents of Atlantic African Parliaments on the 6th of this month.
