Morocco, Mauritania Build Economic Partnership Amid Regional Challenges
Rabat — In a powerful address at the Moroccan-Mauritanian Parliamentary Economic Forum in Nouakchott today, Morocco's House of Representatives Speaker Rachid Talbi Alami commended the unique opportunity for cooperation between the two North African neighbors. Alami spoke of the stability both countries enjoy while the region is 'facing a turbulent geopolitical environment in many contexts.' His invigorating speech focused on similar environmental challenges. Alami particularly addressed climate change-induced drought and desertification, which he said have triggered job losses, reduced income sources, and intensified internal migration in both countries. Alami further noted that both countries also manage migration flows from other regions of the world 'with responsibility and a humanitarian approach that honors the traditions of hospitality and coexistence' that distinguish the two peoples. 'With determination, genuine partnership, and intensive cooperation, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania and the Kingdom of Morocco can write a success story of prosperity and comprehensive development rarely available to neighboring countries,' he argued. The Parliament Speaker recalled the economic complementarity that ties Morocco and Mauritania, as well as their strategic geographic positioning. 'God has blessed our countries with a pivotal strategic location open to the sea and ocean, with a coastline stretching over 4,200 kilometers,' he said. This extensive coast creates various economic opportunities that could contribute to strategic tourism projects, infrastructure, and services, alongside rich marine mineral resources and fisheries.

Both countries boast young populations and enormous human resources that, with proper training and guidance, 'can form a decisive wealth for renaissance, transforming the despair affecting some youth groups into ambition, enthusiasm, and contribution to nation-building.' Alami further explained that Morocco and Mauritania possess tremendous potential to expand, intensify, and diversify agriculture, livestock, and fishing industries, building on rich traditions and cultural heritage in these sectors. Against an 'ambiguous, changing, and tense international context in several regions,' Alami described relations between Morocco and Mauritania as 'a model of brotherhood and good neighborliness based on mutual trust guaranteed by the political will of both countries' leaders.'

South Korea aligns closer with Morocco on Western Sahara
South Korea has expressed its support for Morocco's «serious and credible efforts» to advance toward a resolution of the Western Sahara issue. The position was outlined in a statement released by the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday, May 9. The Korean government called for «a swift and mutually acceptable resolution» through dialogue between the concerned parties, within the framework of the United Nations. The statement also acknowledges Morocco's autonomy proposal, submitted to the UN Secretary-General in April 2007. It's worth recalling that during the 7th session of the Morocco–South Korea Joint Commission held in Seoul in 2018, the Korean government reiterated its support for UN-led efforts to reach a political solution to the Sahara issue. At the time, South Korea also praised Morocco's efforts to resolve the dispute, as reported by MAP. Despite pressure from Algeria, South Korea excluded the Polisario Front from its first summit with Africa. This absence was underscored in the diplomatic statement, which noted: «Rachid Talbi Alami, President of the House of Representatives, and H.E. Mr. Nasser Bourita, Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Abroad, visited Korea in June 2024 on the occasion of the First Korea-Africa Summit, attended by 54 African countries». The statement concluded by reaffirming South Korea's commitment to «further strengthening its relations with Morocco, which continues to emerge as a leading country in Africa». This declaration comes two months after Hyundai Rotem signed a contract with Morocco's National Railways Office (ONCF) on February 25 to supply 110 trains, valued at approximately 1.5 billion euros. South Korea is also expected to supply weapons to the Royal Armed Forces (FAR).
