Morocco serves as a model to follow in its development approach, emphasized Karim Bouamrane, the mayor of the French commune of Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine (Grand Paris), on the sidelines of COP30 taking place in Belém, Brazil.
“The Kingdom is a reference in its ability to address significant contemporary challenges, whether it concerns education, health, training, sports, diplomacy, gender equality, or the promotion of soft power. We see this every day,” Mr. Bouamrane stated in an interview with MAP-Brazil.
The Franco-Moroccan official asserted that “Morocco’s leadership is not only African; it is global.”
In the field of the environment, Mr. Bouamrane highlighted that the Kingdom is at the forefront of the fight against climate change and water stress management, thanks to a proactive strategy that includes seawater desalination, wastewater reuse, and the preservation of water resources, thereby ensuring its national sovereignty.
Mr. Bouamrane also praised the civic and social dimension of Morocco: “The respect for institutions and the engagement of the youth make Morocco an inspiring country. It is a loving nation that conveys a sense of pride and belonging, even to its community living abroad.”
Finally, he stressed the importance of international partners, particularly France, in sharing expertise and best practices to ensure sustainable human development.
