The President of the Parliament of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC), Évariste Ngamana, reiterated on Tuesday in Rabat the unwavering support of CEMAC member states for Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara.
“The countries of Central Africa—namely Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Chad—reaffirm their support for Morocco’s sovereignty over all its territory, including the Sahara,” Ngamana said following talks with Speaker of the House of Councillors, Mohamed Ould Errachid.
Leading a high-level parliamentary delegation to Morocco, Ngamana also praised the enlightened vision of HM King Mohammed VI for a “strong and developed” Africa.
He highlighted several major development projects launched under HM the King’s leadership, including the Atlantic port of Dakhla, a flagship project under Morocco’s development strategy for the southern provinces, and the African Atlantic Gas Pipeline, which reflects the Kingdom’s commitment to South-South cooperation.
On parliamentary diplomacy, Ngamana recalled the memorandum of understanding signed in Rabat last January between the House of Councillors and CEMAC to enhance dialogue and strengthen inter-parliamentary cooperation.
Ngamana also welcomed his participation in the upcoming Morocco-CEMAC Parliamentary Forum on Economic Cooperation, set to take place this Friday under the High Patronage of HM King Mohammed VI.
Jointly organized by the House of Councillors and the CEMAC Parliament, in partnership with the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM), the Forum aims to establish a structured platform for dialogue to boost economic cooperation and expand trade between Morocco and CEMAC countries.
