The Parliament of the Kingdom of Morocco took part in the works of the April session of the Central American Parliament, held from April 28 to 30, 2025 in the Dominican Republic.
The work of this session began with the organization of a forum on migration, placed under the theme: “The challenges of the integration system in the face of the worsening of the migration crisis in the Central America region”. The opening session of this forum was marked by the speech of the delegation of the Moroccan Parliament, composed of the deputy Mr. Abdelaali Barouki, representative of the section of the House of Representatives to the Central American Parliament, and the Councilor Mr. Ahmed Lakhrif, representative of the section of the Chamber of Councilors with the said organization.
During this intervention, the Moroccan delegation reviewed Moroccan policy in the management of migration, by highlighting the specificity of the kingdom as a country of origin, transit and reception of migrants from various countries. It also exposed the pioneering experience of the kingdom, under the high guidelines of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, that God assists it, in matters of integration of migrants into the national fabric, promoting coexistence between cultures, and articulation between the human dimension, the requirements of security and the development objectives, through the regularization of the administrative and legal situation of migrants residing in Morocco.
On the sidelines of this participation, the representatives of the Moroccan parliament held a series of meetings, in particular with Mr. Carlos Hernández, president of the Central American Parliament; Mr. Ricardo de Los Santos, President of the Senate of the Dominican Republic; Mr. Ignacio Aracena, President of the Permanent Commission for Relations and International Cooperation of the Dominican Chamber of Deputies; and Ms. María Ortiz, president of the Senate external relations committee.
These meetings were an opportunity to express the shared desire to strengthen parliamentary cooperation at bilateral and multilateral levels, and to reaffirm the constant position of the Dominican Republic on the question of the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco, as well as its support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative.
The work of this session continued by holding a plenary session, during which several reports and resolution projects relating to the protection of orphaned children victims of disasters, migration, as well as responsible use of artificial intelligence in the region of Central America, were discussed.
