Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency receives PAM Excellence Award

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) has granted its Award of Excellence for Humanitarian Action to Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency, the executive arm of the Al-Quds Committee, chaired by King Mohammed VI.

The award was handed over to Director of the Agency Mohamed Salem Cherkaoui at the opening session of the Parliamentary Economic Forum for the Euro-Mediterranean and Gulf Region, held July 11-12 in Marrakech

Salem Cherkaoui stressed that this award pays tribute to the efforts of King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, to implement concrete social assistance projects.

The award was bestowed on the agency in recognition of its valuable services and efforts in support of humanitarian and social action in Al Quds, an action that goes hand in hand with the political and legal process of the Palestinian cause where Moroccan diplomacy plays a leadership and humanitarian role recognized for its constancy and its greater purpose.

The award is also a recognition of the Kingdom’s contribution, under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, to building partnership bridges among the peoples of the Euro-Mediterranean region, through the promotion of values of mutual respect, coexistence, cooperation and solidarity.

The Marrakech Parliamentary Economic Forum for the Euro-Med and Gulf Region, whose constitutive session took place in December 2022 in Marrakech, represents an ideal opportunity for parliamentarians and founding partners of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean to interact with political and economic stakeholders from public and private sectors, as well as with academia and civil society.

Initiated by the House of Councillors and the PAM, the second edition will focus on two main themes, namely “the transition to green energy” and “supporting entrepreneurship and small and medium-sized enterprises in this process.”
