Morocco Worlda day ago
Rabat — Morocco's Ministry of National Territory Planning, Urban Planning, Housing and City Policy has launched a special campaign for Moroccans living abroad as part of the 'Marhaba 2025' operation.
To implement the initiative, the ministry specified that it launched a mobile outreach caravan on August 2 in Tangier.
Held under the theme 'Urban Planning and Housing at the Service of Moroccans Worldwide,' the caravan is scheduled to land in 10 cities across Morocco's regions until August 31.
Royal directives drive initiative
The ministry noted that rolling out this national campaign program for 2025 is in line with King Mohammed VI's directives and his special care for Moroccan diaspora members.
The campaign follows circular number 7049 that Minister Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri sent to Al Omran Group, urban agencies, and regional and provincial directorates under the ministry.
The directive calls for active participation in bringing services closer to citizens and strengthening trust and communication for Moroccans living abroad.
Strategic vision centers citizens
Ministry officials pointed out that this initiative reflects a strategic vision that places citizens — both inside and outside the country — at the heart of the ministry's focus.
The initiative is designed to provide field support and information that allows diaspora members to learn about the missions of the ministry and its programs aimed at providing decent housing, particularly the Direct Housing Support Program.
Practical measures improve services
The campaign includes several practical measures to improve reception quality and deliver effective public service.
Not only did the ministry create reception and guidance spaces at all central and decentralized services and institutions under its authority, but it has also dedicated special windows inside commercial agencies of Al Omran companies and set up reception units at urban agencies and border crossings.
Additionally, the ministry is set to organize open days to share insights on its programs, missions, and services, as well as providing detailed explanations about real estate offers related to housing or investment.
Digital access and simplified procedures
The ministry is adopting a digital aspect as part of its campaign, in order to facilitate diaspora members' access to urban planning data through digital platforms and direct communication.
It also simplifies procedures and ensures special support for investment or housing files concerning this category of citizens. Tags: Housinghousing aid programhousing in MoroccoMoroccan MREs

Palestinian Minister: Morocco's Humanitarian Aid Will Have Tangible, Positive Impact on Gaza

Palestinian Minister in charge of official information, Ahmed Assaf, has celebrated the latest humanitarian aid package Morocco sent to Gaza as part of a royal order. Last week, King Mohammed VI instructed 180 tons of humanitarian aid to be sent to Gaza to assist civilians amid a starvation war launched by Israeli Occupation Forces amid the ongoing genocide in the Palestinian enclave. The aid pack consists of essential food supplies, milk, and products specifically intended for children. It also includes medicines and surgical equipment for the most vulnerable populations. Blankets, suitable tents, and other equipment are also part of the humanitarian aid pack. Many Palestinian officials have commended Morocco's humanitarian initiative, including Assaf, who said that the aid will provide significant, urgent assistance to the people of Gaza. Gaza residents have been suffering from blockade and famine, he pointed out, adding that this royal gesture is part of a series of initiatives that Morocco has been taking under the leadership of King Mohammed VI. He also reaffirmed that Morocco has always defended the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people at all levels, concluding that the initiative will contribute to strengthening and developing the historical ties between Morocco and Palestine. Forced starvation has claimed the lives of many Palestinians in recent weeks, particularly children and newborns. Over 190 Palestinians have to date died due to hunger. The number includes 96 children, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa. In the last 24 hours, Gaza hospitals recorded five new deaths due to famine and malnutrition. This adds to the dilemma Palestinians are facing due to the ongoing genocide. In the past 24 hours, the IOF killed at least 138 people and wounded 771 others. The death toll of the genocidal war has reached over 151,442 since Israel launched its merciless Gaza campaign in October 2023. Tags: Gaza starvationMohammed VI

Morocco Places Strategic Focus on Cooperation with Landlocked African Nations

Morocco, thanks to its geographical position and ongoing commitment, has made cooperation with landlocked countries, particularly in Africa, a strategic priority of its cooperation policy, Minister of Transport and Logistics Abdessamad Kayouh said on Tuesday in Awaza, Turkmenistan. 'In a spirit of solidarity and shared development, Morocco continues, under the wise leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, to provide concrete support to landlocked African countries through strengthening South-South and triangular development projects, effectively contributing to improving the livelihood of beneficiaries and strengthening their development capacities,' Kayouh emphasized during the plenary session of delegations participating in the 3rd United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries, held until August 8. This commitment has been reflected through several initiatives, notably the Royal Initiative aimed at granting Atlantic Ocean access to Sahel countries, he noted, recalling that this initiative eyes a new framework for cooperation and joint development, by sharing Moroccan experience in infrastructure. This initiative is part of the Royal vision for a united, stable, and prosperous Africa and constitutes a strategic lever for the economic transformation of the Sahel countries by strengthening their strategic independence and promoting their great potential, he said, adding that it is also a great opportunity to integrate these countries into global value chains, thus opening up new prospects for growth and human, social, and economic development for Africa. This Moroccan approach to cooperation also tasks shape in several pioneering initiatives, such as the revitalization of the three Climate Commissions launched in 2016 at the African Action Summit, the Climate Change Competence Center, the Adaptation of African Agriculture to Climate Change (AAA) initiative, the initiative for Sustainability, Stability and Security in Africa (SSS), and the African Youth Climate Hub, he said. The minister further expressed Morocco's welcoming of the adoption of the new Awaza Action Plan for the decade 2024-2034, which reflects a collective commitment to strengthening landlocked developing countries' international cooperation in connectivity, energy transition, and economic flexibility. This conference stands as a crucial step in the development process of landlocked countries, ten years after the adoption of the Vienna Program of Action, according to the minister, with a view to assess progress made, commit to engage in strong partnerships and renew international support for the specific needs of these countries amidst a global context marred by multiple crises and growing tensions, he concluded. Morocco is represented at this event by a delegation led by minister Kayouh, including Morocco's Permanent Representative to the UN Omar Hilale, the Kingdom's Ambassador to the Republics of Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan Mohamed Rachid Maaninou, as well as several diplomats and officials from the Ministry of Transport and Logistics.

Morocco Elected 3rd UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries Vice-President

Morocco, represented by the Kingdom's ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations, Omar Hilale, was elected on Tuesday Vice-President of the 3rd UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries, held in Awaza, Turkmenistan. The election was announced during a plenary session of delegations taking part in the conference (August 5-8), in which Morocco will be among the countries representing the African continent. 'Morocco's role was lauded through my election as Vice-President of the conference, which will allow us to be more active in debates and parallel meetings,' Hilale told MAP. This conference comes at an opportune moment, having been postponed twice, he stressed, pointing out that landlocked developing countries account for 9% of the world's population and one-sixth of UN member states, which illustrates their scale. The Moroccan diplomat stressed the importance of this event, which highlights the difficulties and challenges facing these countries, and offers the international community an opportunity to discuss ways of helping them. This conference will result in a political declaration of solidarity with landlocked developing countries, giving them greater attention, while working collectively to strengthen their support, notably through an action plan focused on building their resilience and adaptive capacity, encouraging and facilitating trade, attracting investment and improving access, all important levers for breaking their landlocked status, he added. He also highlighted His Majesty King Mohammed VI's vision in supporting and cooperating with landlocked developing countries, citing two major initiatives, namely the Atlantic initiative to provide Sahel countries with free access to the Atlantic Ocean, and the initiative to open up Sahel countries, an essential and strategic action of South-South solidarity for these States. Morocco is set to take part in three parallel sessions of the conference in order to underline the Royal strategy to support these countries, the Kingdom's policy within the general framework of the 2030 Agenda, as well as Morocco's solidarity actions, mainly in Africa, Hilale said. This conference will help these countries face two main hurdles, namely underdevelopment, as the majority of these countries are developing, and the difficulty of access to connectivity, transport and trade networks, which raises their imports and exports costs and slows down their development, he added.
