She stressed the importance of continuing the process of cooperation and coordination with the House of Councillors to establish a multi-party dialogue and cooperative relations with African and Arab parliaments, as evidenced by the creation of the South-South Parliamentary Forum. Following its participation at the General Assembly of the Andean Parliament and the World Law Congress, the Moroccan delegation, together with the Kingdom's ambassador to Peru and Bolivia Amine Chaoudri, held a reception attended by political figures from the five Andean countries, including Condori, former presidents of the Andean Parliament Gustavo Pacheco and Cristina Reyes, as well as Peruvian political and economic figures.
