Bangkok - The participation of Morocco as an associate member country of the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) will constitute more substantive cooperation in the education field based on the South-South and win-win partnership between the Kingdom of Morocco and Southeast Asian countries.

In a statement on its official website, the SEAMEO said the priority areas of collaboration include the areas of Mobility and Exchanges, Research and Collaboration, and Higher Education.

Morocco obtained, unanimously, the status of Associate Member of SEAMEO during the 51st Conference of the Council of this organization, held on Thursday by videoconference, with the participation of the Ambassador of HM the King to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar Abdelilah El Housni.

Morocco thus becomes the first Arab and African country to obtain this Status, consolidating its position as a privileged interlocutor in the region for the countries of Southeast Asia.

The Associate Member Countries of SEAMEO are Australia, Canada, Germany, France, New Zealand, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Spain.

The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization is a regional intergovernmental organization established in 1965 among governments of Southeast Asian countries to promote regional cooperation in education, science and culture in the region.
