Morocco’s parliamentary delegation took part in the 10th Summit of Parliament Presidents and the 19th plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean (PA-UfM), held last weekend at the Egyptian Parliament’s headquarters in the new administrative capital.

Led by Abdelmajid Fassi Fihri, Vice-President of the Chamber of Representatives, the Moroccan team worked to solidify the Kingdom’s position within PA-UfM’s structures.

During the event, a Bureau meeting reviewed the Assembly’s new leadership for 2026–2030 and confirmed the chairs of its permanent commissions.

In this context, Morocco was elected to the Assembly Bureau and tasked with leading the Artificial Intelligence Commission—a clear endorsement of the country’s parliamentary diplomacy and its elevated role within this Euro-Mediterranean forum.

Fassi Fihri, addressing the plenary on behalf of Morocco’s Parliament, stressed that the PA-UfM remains a vital platform for dialogue and cooperation between parliaments on both sides of the Mediterranean.

He highlighted how the selected themes—artificial intelligence, youth participation, and parliamentary diplomacy for peace and stability in the Middle East—reflect the collective awareness of a profound transitional period. This period extends beyond technological shifts to encompass cultural, societal, and geopolitical transformations that reshape influence mechanisms and decision-making processes.

Fassi Fihri underscored that, under the guidance of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco is advancing its national economy, reinforcing digital transformation, and developing technological infrastructure. This strategic vision positions knowledge-based economy as a key driver for sustainable development, economic competitiveness, and Morocco’s credibility as a reliable partner across the Mediterranean, Africa, and globally.

The Moroccan delegation, which included Chaoui Belassal, Meriem Rmili, Houria Didi, Rabab Aïlal, Salwa Demnati, and Ibrahim Aâba, engaged in discussions across multiple bodies and commissions. They contributed to debates on core Mediterranean priorities: parliamentary diplomacy, artificial intelligence, youth involvement in decision-making, and strengthening security, stability, and shared development.

The sessions concluded with a call to maintain parliamentary coordination among member states and enhance the PA-UfM’s role as a platform for dialogue and trust, serving the security, stability, sustainable development, and shared prosperity of Mediterranean peoples.
