Rabat: The Speaker of Morocco’s House of Representatives, Rachid Talbi Alami, called, on Monday in Rabat, on national parliaments and the international parliamentary community to advocate for facilitating technology transfer to low-income countries.
According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, Talbi Alami made these remarks at the opening of the 10th International Parliamentary Forum on Social Justice, held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. He stressed the importance of reducing the dominance of patents, particularly in essential fields like medicine and industries crucial to modern life.
In a global context characterized by uneven globalization, Talbi Alami noted that factors generating inequality are intensifying, affecting national levels through social and territorial disparities. His speech, delivered by Deputy Speaker Abdelmajid Fassi Fihri, highlighted the disproportionate impact of climate change on non-industrialized countries in the Global South, despite their minimal greenhouse gas emissions.
Talbi Alami underscored that these challenges are central to Morocco’s major projects under King Mohammed VI’s leadership, aligning with changes in the Moroccan economy and society. He referenced the National Initiative for Human Development launched in 2005, aimed at combating exclusion and promoting education, which has positively impacted social development indicators.
Morocco’s advancements in infrastructure, economic modernization, and poverty reduction were also highlighted by Talbi Alami. He reiterated King Mohammed VI’s consistent emphasis on integrating democracy with economic and social dimensions to reduce disparities.
Additionally, Talbi Alami mentioned that the 2026 Finance Law prioritizes territorial development in budgetary policies, with plans to launch new territorial development programs in 2025. These programs, based on consultative meetings across the Kingdom, aim to define priorities and design projects with achievable objectives, ultimately reducing social and territorial disparities through public policy convergence and proximity principles.
