EU Commends King Mohammed VI’s Role in Promoting Middle East Peace

The European Union has commended the role of King Mohammed VI of Morocco in efforts to promote peace and stability in the Middle East, highlighting his leadership as Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee and his contribution to the search for a just and lasting resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In a joint statement issued after the 15th session of the Morocco–EU Association Council held in Brussels, the EU expressed clear support for the work of the Al-Quds Committee and praised the Moroccan monarch as a champion of peace and a credible, trusted actor in advancing a two-state solution to the conflict.

The statement also underscored Morocco’s constructive and forward-looking role in regional cooperation initiatives. Discussions during the Council session focused on key developments in the shared neighbourhood between Morocco and the EU, with particular attention given to the initiative for the benefit of the African Atlantic countries.

Launched by King Mohammed VI in 2022, the African Atlantic Initiative brings together 23 African countries with Atlantic coastlines. The project seeks to structure the African-Atlantic space as a platform for dialogue and cooperation, to enhance regional stability, fostering shared development, and promoting deeper economic integration.

According to the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the political dialogue held during the Association Council meeting reaffirmed the relevance of the King’s strategic vision and Morocco’s growing role as a central actor in promoting peace, stability and shared development across its region.

The Morocco–EU Association Council was co-chaired by Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Living Abroad, Nasser Bourita, and the European Union’s High Representative, Kaja Kallas.

The session also featured the participation of the EU Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Šujka, alongside several European foreign ministers, including those of Spain, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Estonia, the Czech Republic and Malta, as well as senior representatives from all EU member states.
