Under the terms of a decision adopted unanimously following its 30th extraordinary session, hosted by the Moroccan parliament, FOPREL members commit to promoting the Royal initiative on an international scale with a view to “overcoming the lack of major infrastructure and investment” in the African Atlantic Sahel.

The Forum noted that this initiative aims to establish a robust institutional framework bringing together 23 Atlantic African countries, “making Morocco's Atlantic coastline a platform for strengthening maritime and air logistics connectivity between these states”. 

The FOPREL members also stressed that the links to be forged under the Royal initiative are likely to facilitate the exchange of goods and the flow of investment in South countries, and to bring wealth-generating production chains closer to sources of raw materials, particularly within the Arab-American geo-economic space.

In turn, they welcomed the initiative presented by Speaker of the House of Councillors Mohamed Ould Errachid to create a forum for parliamentary dialogue between Morocco, Central America and the Caribbean, during sessions to be held on an alternating basis between the two parties.

They called for this initiative to serve as “a basis for institutionalizing parliamentary relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and FOPREL, and establishing mechanisms for communication and coordination between the two parties”.

Furthermore, Forum members also stressed the importance of bolstering FOPREL's ties with the international community, while recognizing its strategic role in strengthening, updating and harmonizing regulatory frameworks, given their importance in parliamentary diplomacy and political dialogue.

Forum members also expressed their deep gratitude to Speakers of the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors for the efforts and logistical support provided by the Moroccan Parliament to ensure the success of FOPREL's 30th extraordinary session.
