Morocco navigates complex geopolitical transformations with confidence and determination under King Mohammed VI’s guidance, consolidating its position as a credible regional and international actor, Chamber of Counselors President Mohamed Ould Errachid affirmed Tuesday during the legislative session’s closing ceremony.
Addressing the context surrounding the 2025-2026 session’s first sitting, Ould Errachid highlighted pervasive uncertainty characterized by intersecting geopolitical shifts, economic constraints, energy challenges, and climate pressures, while social expectations continue rising. These dynamics compel nations to strengthen internal resilience, improve development models, and enhance public policy effectiveness.
Morocco pursues management of these transformations through anticipation, wisdom, and forward-thinking approaches, grounded in clear strategic choices and successive structural reforms that place citizens at public policy centers while consolidating political and institutional stability as fundamental pillars, Ould Errachid explained.
The Kingdom’s hosting of the 35th Africa Cup of Nations reinforced this credibility on the ground, presenting Africa and the international community with an image of emerging Morocco—confident in its choices and capable of elevating major event organization to standards reflecting its model’s maturity and trajectory effectiveness. The tournament strengthened Morocco’s standing with continental and international bodies while confirming full preparation for hosting major global events, foremost the World Cup.
Parliamentary action operates fully within this dynamic, accompanying major projects launched by the Kingdom through complementary roles among different actors, harmonization of public choices, and consecration of gradual reform methodology marking national experience in recent years, the Chamber president noted.
This session coincided with highly symbolic sovereignty moments in the primary national cause, marked by King Mohammed VI’s decision establishing October 31 as Unity Day, following Security Council adoption of Resolution 2797. The resolution reaffirmed relevance of Morocco’s autonomy initiative in southern provinces under Moroccan sovereignty as a serious, credible political solution to this artificial regional dispute.
Ould Errachid emphasized this consecration represents legitimate culmination of rigorous, serene diplomacy conducted by the Sovereign, now reinforced by advanced positions from key international partners. The Chamber of Counselors continues prioritizing defense of the Kingdom’s territorial integrity through active parliamentary diplomacy engagement and advocacy for national cause justice in various regional and international forums.
Speaker of the House of Representatives Rachid Talbi El Alami on his part said at the closing of the first session of the 2025-2026 legislative year that this session was marked by Morocco’s steady progress regarding national unity, based on decisive advances made possible by the strategic vision of King Mohammed VI.
This session’s rich results are part of a national context marked by the pursuit of reforms, enshrining the democratic model and economic growth, as well as strengthening Morocco’s geopolitical standing at the regional, continental and international levels, Talbi Alami emphasized at the close of the session.
He affirmed that UN Security Council Resolution 2797 on the Moroccan Sahara issue marked a decisive turning point in the artificial conflict over the Kingdom’s territorial integrity, noting that this resolution represents a pivotal milestone rich in patriotic lessons that testifies to the successes achieved by the Kingdom in consolidating the legitimacy of its inalienable rights in its Southern provinces.
This pivotal stage of great progress achieved by the Kingdom, based on the accumulation and consolidation of achievements, are the result of a Royal Vision that has created the appropriate economic, social, cultural, institutional, and legal conditions for the realization of these major transformations, he said.
