[00:04:51] We are very happy to sign this agreement with our friends in
[00:04:54] Morocco, and we look forward to a new era
[00:04:57] of bilateral relations between our two countries. I have great
[00:05:01] hope that I will have the opportunity to visit Morocco at the appropriate
[00:05:05] time, and I am confident that many positive things
[00:05:08] await us in the near future.
[00:05:13] New avenues for bilateral cooperation between Morocco
[00:05:16] meeting with the Armenian Foreign Minister, Ararat
[00:05:20] Mirzoyan, alongside discussions on issues of
[00:05:23] common interest. Always within the framework of intensive
[00:05:27] Moroccan diplomacy, the Minister of Foreign Affairs
[00:05:30] and African Cooperation and Moroccans Residing
[00:05:33] Abroad met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iraq,
[00:05:35] Fuad Mohammed Hussein, and reaffirmed the determination
[00:05:39] to develop economic and trade partnerships between
[00:05:42] the two countries. A growing convergence and cooperation characterize
[00:05:46] the relations between Morocco and Barbados, and a vision
[00:05:49] to enhance South-South cooperation and bilateral partnership
[00:05:52] in vital sectors, as expressed by the Minister
[00:05:56] of Foreign Affairs of this country, Christopher
[00:05:59] Sinkle. Strong diplomatic cooperation
[00:06:02] and remarkable development in various fields characterize
[00:06:05] the Kingdom's relationship with the Dominican Republic.
[00:06:09] The head of diplomacy of the country, Victor
[00:06:12] Bisonó Haza, expressed during this
[00:06:16] to strengthen a strategic partnership in
[00:06:19] multiple areas. The series of
[00:06:23] discussions also included a meeting with the Dutch Foreign Minister,
[00:06:27] Tom
[00:06:30] European country and Morocco are characterized
[00:06:33] by their deep historical roots, spanning more than four centuries.
[00:06:37] Economic and social ties and a strategic partnership
[00:06:40] are characterized by development.
[00:06:43] The Ghanaian Foreign Minister, Samuel Okudzeto
[00:06:47] Ablakwa, expressed during these bilateral discussions
[00:06:49] his country's desire to support cooperation
[00:06:53] that includes a number of sectors, especially since Ghana
[00:06:56] is considered one of Morocco's most prominent trade partners within
[00:07:00] the Economic Community of West
[00:07:03] African States. Discussions also with the Spanish
[00:07:06] diplomat Miguel Ángel Moratinos, the High Representative
[00:07:10] for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, and his
[00:07:14] appreciative stances on the Kingdom's leading role in spreading the values of tolerance,
[00:07:17] coexistence, and common living. Morocco is considered
[00:07:21] a regional and international inspiring model in the dialogue of religions
[00:07:25] and cultures. The Minister of Foreign Affairs
[00:07:28] and International Cooperation of the Republic of South
[00:07:31] Sudan, Cecilia Adut Manyok
[00:07:34] Deng, also met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs
[00:07:37] and African Cooperation and Moroccans Residing
[00:07:40] Abroad. The discussions included the development of strategic
[00:07:43] partnership and solidarity
[00:07:45] cooperation.
[00:07:50] I am happy to meet the Moroccan Foreign Minister. We discussed
[00:07:54] the bilateral relations between our two countries and the amount of support
[00:07:57] that Morocco provides to South Sudan in the field of capacity
[00:08:00] building, not only through dialogue
[00:08:04] but also through training and qualifying
[00:08:06] our students. We look forward to continuing our work
[00:08:10] and completing a number of projects.
[00:08:15] As for the future of relations, we look forward to continuing to develop them
[00:08:19] and strengthening cooperation between
[00:08:22] our two countries. This is intensive diplomacy in the United
[00:08:26] defending the first national cause and strengthening
[00:08:32] international forum.
[00:08:36] In New York, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans
[00:08:39] Residing Abroad, Nasser Bourita, affirmed that the relationship between Morocco
[00:08:42] and Spain is and will remain based on
[00:08:46] the principles of the joint statement of April 2022,
[00:08:50] which was adopted at the conclusion of the discussions between His Majesty King Mohammed VI
[00:08:54] - may God grant him victory - and the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez. This came after
[00:08:57] discussions he held with his Spanish counterpart, José Manuel Albares,
[00:09:01] in New York. More in the context of this report by Nadi Al-Mudun,
[00:09:04] Kawthar Abou Tareq and Belal
[00:09:07] Ziani. Following discussions between the Minister of
[00:09:11] Foreign Affairs and African Cooperation, Nasser Bourita, and his Spanish counterpart,
[00:09:15] José Manuel Albares, on the sidelines of the 11th session
[00:09:19] of the United Nations General Assembly, Morocco reiterated
[00:09:22] the reference that governs its partnership with Madrid
[00:09:26] since the April 2022 declaration,
[00:09:29] adopted at the conclusion of the discussions between His Majesty King
[00:09:32] Mohammed VI, may God grant him victory, and the Spanish Prime
[00:09:35] Minister, Pedro Sánchez. A partnership based on dialogue
[00:09:41] an emphasis on consultation to manage points
[00:09:44] of disagreement.
[00:09:50] the principles stipulated in the April
[00:09:53] 2022 declaration between His Majesty King Mohammed
[00:09:57] VI and the Spanish Prime Minister. These
[00:10:00] principles are partnership, mutual respect, dialogue,
[00:10:04] avoiding imposing faits accomplis, and unilateral actions,
[00:10:08] as well as focusing on what unites the two countries and limiting
[00:10:12] points of disagreement. There are many issues on which we agree
[00:10:15] and on which we can make progress, just as
[00:10:19] there are certainly points of disagreement that require
[00:10:23] dialogue and consultation.
[00:10:28] Regarding the issue of migration, Morocco reiterates
[00:10:32] the principle of shared responsibility and its
[00:10:35] stance on the return of irregular migrants
[00:10:38] and unaccompanied minors. According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs
[00:10:42] and African Cooperation, Nasser Bourita, the failure
[00:10:46] related to the clear Moroccan position, but rather
[00:10:50] to what he described as arguments, obstacles, and difficulties
[00:10:54] on the Spanish side.
[00:11:25] Regarding the return of minors,
[00:11:28] Morocco, but of Spain. Morocco
[00:11:31] is not the one preventing this return. Rather, this
[00:11:35] return is linked to arguments, considerations, and obstacles,
[00:11:38] if you will, and difficulties within Spain, and it has nothing
[00:11:42] whatsoever to do with the will expressed clearly by the Moroccan
[00:11:45] authorities. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and African
[00:11:49] Cooperation, Nasser Bourita, expressed his rejection of the continuation of what he described
[00:11:53] as a sterile discussion, considering that some statements made by
[00:11:56] Spanish politicians do not reflect, according to him, the value
[00:12:00] of the partnership between the two countries, stressing
[00:12:04] that there are many points of agreement between Morocco
[00:12:08] and Spain, on which progress can be made.
[00:12:22] A statement by the Minister of Interior stated that the final results
[00:12:25] of the legislative elections held on Wednesday, September 23,
[00:12:29] which were announced by the regional and provincial counting committees,
[00:12:32] exactly match the temporary general results that
[00:12:36] were announced previously.
[00:12:39] Following the completion of the regional counting committees and the provincial
[00:12:42] counting committees, chaired by the judges, at
[00:12:46] the level of various provinces and prefectures and prefectures of districts
[00:12:50] and regions of the Kingdom, in terms of counting votes
[00:12:53] and announcing results related to the election of members of the House
[00:12:57] of Representatives, which took place last Wednesday, and the drafting of
[00:13:01] their special minutes and the submission of a copy of these minutes to the Constitutional
[00:13:04] Court in accordance with legislative requirements, the Minister
[00:13:08] of Interior informs the public that the results announced
[00:13:12] by the aforementioned counting committees exactly match
[00:13:15] the temporary general results that were announced
[00:13:19] previously. Accordingly, we can recall the general results
[00:13:22] officially announced for the local electoral
[00:13:25] districts and the regional electoral
[00:13:28] districts as follows: The Authenticity
[00:13:31] and Modernity Party: 97 seats. The National Rally
[00:13:34] of Independents: 66 seats. The Istiqlal Party:
[00:13:38] 65 seats. The Justice and Development Party: 54
[00:13:41] seats. The Popular Movement Party: 29
[00:13:45] seats. The Socialist Union of Popular Forces: 56
[00:13:49] seats. The Party of Progress and Socialism:
[00:13:52] 19 seats. The Constitutional
[00:13:55] Union: 17 seats. The Social
[00:13:58] Democratic Movement: 8 seats. The Left
[00:14:01] Alliance: 8 seats. The Front of Democratic
[00:14:04] Forces: 2 seats. The Human
[00:14:08] Party: 2 seats. The New Democrats Party: 1 seat.
[00:14:11] The Unity and Democracy Party: 1 seat. On the other
[00:14:15] hand, the Minister of Interior reminds that, in accordance with the provisions of Article
[00:14:18] 96 of the Organic Law related to the House
[00:14:22] of Representatives, every candidate, male or female, has
[00:14:25] the right to inspect in the premises of the local
[00:14:28] administrative authority or the premises of the province or prefecture or the prefecture
[00:14:32] of the districts or the premises of the regional wilaya the minutes
[00:14:35] of the polling stations and central offices and the committee
[00:14:38] affiliated with the province or prefecture or the district
[00:14:41] or the regional counting committee, and
[00:14:43] that is for eight full days
[00:14:47] during official working hours from the date of
[00:14:50] their submission. The aforementioned organic law also grants every
[00:14:53] candidate, male or female, whose
[00:14:57] inspect the minutes of the electoral operations and to take
[00:15:00] a copy thereof at the premises of the local administrative authority or at the province
[00:15:04] or prefecture or the district or at the premises of the regional
[00:15:07] wilaya within eight days during official working
[00:15:10] hours from the date of receipt of the
[00:15:13] appeal.
[00:15:17] With the announcement of the final results of the legislative elections, the map of the new
[00:15:21] House of Representatives presents more than one possibility regarding the possible
[00:15:25] alliances for forming the next government. What
[00:15:27] scenarios do seat calculations allow,
[00:15:31] and what alliances can produce a majority in the House
[00:15:34] of Representatives? Are we facing a new political
[00:15:37] equation? The most prominent scenarios for forming the next
[00:15:40] government with Samira Asban, Amin Ammouri, Wassim Massoud,
[00:15:44] and Mohammed Jabiri. Various
[00:15:47] scenarios and numerous possibilities can shape the features
[00:15:50] of the next government coalition. The Authenticity and Modernity Party,
[00:15:54] currently leading the legislative election
[00:15:57] results, is called upon to form a government coalition. In parliament,
[00:16:00] the party needs more than one party partner to reach
[00:16:04] the threshold of at least
[00:16:09] 198 seats. So what are the most prominent possible
[00:16:12] scenarios for forming the next government
[00:16:15] majority? It is certain that the Authenticity and Modernity Party has
[00:16:19] many and varied options.
[00:16:23] the previous alliance because, numerically,
[00:16:27] there is sufficient legal quorum, and it can
[00:16:30] also seek other
[00:16:33] options. What needs to be emphasized in these
[00:16:35] scenarios is that, in terms of what we can
[00:16:39] call political exclusion, there is at least what
[00:16:43] is rumored that the Justice and Development Party has been excluded
[00:16:46] from participating in the government, and there is also
[00:16:50] news about the Left Alliance. Beyond that,
[00:16:54] all parties are present or desirous
[00:16:59] alliances. The nature of the political map
[00:17:02] that resulted from the September 23
[00:17:05] elections makes the identity of the next
[00:17:09] many possibilities. There are no red lines in
[00:17:13] choosing alliances. A previous statement made by
[00:17:16] the coordinator of the collective leadership of the General Secretariat of the
[00:17:20] Authenticity and Modernity Party. The party expressed its
[00:17:23] readiness to consult with all parties with whom it shares
[00:17:27] the same vision for its electoral program. The party,
[00:17:30] which won 97 seats, needs
[00:17:33] more than 100 seats to form
[00:17:36] the government. According to Article 88 of the Kingdom's
[00:17:40] constitution, the government is considered invested after
[00:17:43] obtaining the confidence of the House of Representatives through a vote
[00:17:47] of absolute majority of the members who
[00:17:50] compose the House in favor of the government program after
[00:17:53] the elections and after the announcement of the results. The Authenticity
[00:17:57] and Modernity Party topped these elections. Therefore, the Prime Minister
[00:18:00] will be appointed by His Majesty the King in accordance
[00:18:04] party to form the next government. This
[00:18:09] two main constraints. The first constraint relates to the quorum,
[00:18:13] as the Constitution stipulates what is called the absolute
[00:18:16] majority of the members who constitute the House
[00:18:19] to vote in favor of the government program, in accordance
[00:18:23] with Article 88 of
[00:18:26] numbers, 198
[00:18:28] members or more. This is one point. The second
[00:18:32] point relates to ideological convergence and political
[00:18:35] convergence. Convergence at the level of the intellectual
[00:18:38] line of the political parties that will form
[00:18:41] this coalition or government alliance.
[00:18:45] Forming a consistent and stable majority
[00:18:48] is a challenge for the party leading the election
[00:18:51] results. The party needs to form a government
[00:18:55] coalition capable of enriching the government program
[00:18:58] and defending it within the legislative institution and avoiding
[00:19:02] wasting political time to begin implementing the Kingdom's
[00:19:05] major projects.
[00:27:25] renews his country's determination to work with Morocco for a final and permanent solution
[00:27:29] to the Western Sahara file. He renews his country's commitment to the development of the southern
[00:27:33] provinces of the Kingdom. The American official's affirmation came after
[00:27:36] discussions he held with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans
[00:27:39] Residing Abroad, on the sidelines of the 11th session of the
[00:27:43] United Nations General
[00:27:44] Assembly.
[00:27:49] elections and the announcement of the final results of the vote, the map
[00:27:53] of the new House of Representatives raises more than
[00:27:56] one possibility regarding the possible alliances for forming the next
[00:28:00] government.
