Diop, who was speaking at the opening of the Moroccan-Malian diaspora forum for the mobilization of skills and productive investment, paid tribute to “the Moroccan authorities, for having adopted a humanitarian and solidarity-based approach towards migrants, according to the High Orientations of His Majesty King Mohammed VI”, adding that it is an approach that was implemented since 2013.

Morocco adopts “a proactive policy that aims to improve the hosting and integration of migrants, a policy that deserves to be highlighted, also as the various efforts made by the Moroccan authorities and people,” he added.

In this regard, he stressed that this forum in Bamako is part of the common will of the Malian and Moroccan authorities in favor of the historical relations existing between the two countries, as well as their common perspective on all the challenges related to the migration issue.

For his part, Morocco’s ambassador to the Republic of Mali, Driss Isbayene, said that, under the impetus of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco has called in 2013 for a new migration approach based on the values of solidarity, welcome and respect for human rights.

“The Kingdom’s approach in this area makes it a regional model,” he noted.

He also reviewed the efforts made by the Kingdom, in accordance with the High Directives of HM King Mohammed VI, to promote the socio-economic integration of migrants, protect their rights and facilitate their integration.

The Moroccan-Malian diaspora forum for the mobilization of skills and productive investment, attended by institutions and Moroccan companies operating in Mali, aims to discuss investment and development issues.
