Morocco, UNECA Discuss Future African Economic Events in Addis Ababa
Morocco's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the African Union (AU) and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) Mohamed Arrouchi held talks on Monday in Addis Ababa with a delegation from the UNECA led by Deputy Executive Secretary Antonio Pedro. This meeting took place within the framework of the Kingdom's presidency of the Bureau of the Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (CoM). It also forms part of the ongoing consultations between the Moroccan CoM Presidency and UNECA bodies, aimed at coordinating preparations for upcoming continental events. On this occasion, Arrouchi reaffirmed Morocco's commitment to continuing its efforts in favor of concerted African action, based on the principles of solidarity, efficiency, and results. It is worth recalling that Morocco was unanimously elected last March to the presidency of the 57th session of the UNECA and the CoM, an election that reflects the confidence of member states in the Kingdom's leadership and its commitment to dynamic and inclusive economic governance in Africa.

Morocco leads AU consultations on political transitions in six African nations
As the current chair of the African Union's (AU) Peace and Security Council (PSC) for March, Morocco launched informal consultations on Tuesday in Addis Ababa with six nations undergoing political transitions: Burkina Faso, Gabon, Guinea, Mali, Niger, and Sudan. These discussions provided a platform for representatives of these countries—suspended from the AU following changes in their governments—to assess the progress of their democratic transitions and maintain an open dialogue with the continental body. Mohamed Arrouchi, Morocco's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the AU and the UN Economic Commission for Africa, emphasized that these consultations align with the PSC's mandate under Article 8, paragraph 11 of its Protocol, which allows for informal meetings with parties involved in situations under review. «Our meeting aims to strengthen dialogue with the transitioning states, listen to their expectations, and jointly identify the best ways to promote stability, peace, and their return to constitutional order—an essential condition for their full reintegration into the AU», he said. This initiative highlights Morocco's active role in promoting regional stability. It marks a step toward a multidimensional and supportive approach, guiding these nations toward sustainable solutions tailored to their national contexts and regional dynamics. Through this dialogue, the PSC seeks to identify common ground, enhance inter-African cooperation, and pave the way for the gradual reintegration of transitioning countries into the African Union.
