Morocco took part in the international forum on the rapprochement of cultures and human civilizations, held by the Foundation of the Three Cultures in Seville March 29-30.

André Azoulay, Advisor to King Mohammed VI and co-president of the Three Cultures Foundation, who led the Moroccan delegation to the forum, praised the efforts made by the Foundation at the levels of the historic city of Seville and the Mediterranean region to uphold the values of peace and coexistence between different cultures and civilizations.

The Moroccan delegation highlighted the efforts made by the Kingdom in promoting the values of peace and tolerance between religions and cultures, referring, in this connection, to the historic visit of Pope Francis to Morocco in 2019 and the holding, in 2022 in Fez, of the 9th United Nations Alliance of Civilizations Global Forum.

The delegation also highlighted the model of coexistence of the three monotheistic religions in Morocco, hailed internationally and based on full respect and consideration between the followers of these religions, and welcomed the role of the Foundation of the Three Cultures in the consolidation of dialogue, peace and tolerance among the peoples of the Mediterranean basin.

On the sidelines of the forum, the president of the Andalusian government, Juan Manuel Moreno, chaired the awarding ceremony of the “Mediterranean Women’s Prize 2022” that went to Leila Mezian Benjelloun, president of the BMCE Foundation for Education and Environment, in recognition of the efforts of the foundation in education and teaching in Morocco.
