Rabat: On this occasion, both parties praised the quality of the historical relations and the strong ties uniting the two brotherly countries under the high patronage of their Heads of State, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, and His Excellency President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, according to a statement from the House of Representatives.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, Koshanov stressed that his country considers Morocco a strategic gateway to Africa and the Euro-Mediterranean area. He also highlighted the historical depth of relations between the two peoples, recalling in particular the passage of the famous Moroccan traveler Ibn Battuta through Kazakhstan and his detailed descriptions of the region, which reflect the long-standing civilizational exchanges between the two countries.

He also emphasized the convergence of views between Rabat and Astana, both bilaterally and multilaterally, stressing the importance of strengthening mutual support in international forums, notably within the United Nations, on issues of common interest. On this occasion, the Kazakh official extended an official invitation to Talbi Alami to undertake a working visit to Kazakhstan to explore ways to elevate parliamentary cooperation to broader horizons.

For his part, Talbi Alami welcomed the visit- the first of its kind by a Speaker of the Kazakh House of Representatives to Morocco- noting that it would give fresh impetus to parliamentary relations between the two legislative institutions. He also highly commended the positive stance of the Republic of Kazakhstan in favor of the Kingdom’s territorial integrity.

During the talks, the Speaker of the House of Representatives provided an overview of the major projects and structural reforms carried out under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, highlighting the advances brought by the 2011 Constitution in consolidating the separation of powers and building the rule of law. He also referred to the progress achieved by Morocco in renewable energy, water management, infrastructure, industry, as well as other economic, agricultural, and social sectors.

The meeting also addressed ways to strengthen parliamentary diplomacy in support of shared economic interests, particularly in the sectors of transport, fisheries, investment, agriculture, education, culture, tourism, and health, while keeping pace with digital transformation and challenges related to artificial intelligence.
