Arab Summit endorses Morocco’s bid for UN Security Council seat for 2028-2029 term

The 34th Arab Summit, held on Saturday in Baghdad, endorsed Morocco’s candidacy for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2028-2029 term.

Baghdad Declaration adopted by the Summit urged all Arab League member states to mobilize all efforts in their outreach to friendly countries to secure support for Morocco’s bid.

In their Declaration, Arab Heads of State and heads of participating delegations also voiced support for the role of the Al-Quds Committee and Bayt Mal Al Quds Asharif Agency, chaired by King Mohammed VI.

The same support was reaffirmed by Arab leaders in their resolution on “Developments and Israeli violations in the occupied city of Al-Quds.”

In another resolution entitled “Support for the budget of the State of Palestine and the resistance of the Palestinian people,” the Arab leaders expressed their gratitude to the Kingdom of Morocco for contributing to the capital increase of the Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Funds.

On another level, Arab States called for benefiting further from the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Ulema, set up at the initiative of the Moroccan Monarch, and the Rabat-based Mohammed VI Institute for the Training of Imams, Morchidines and Morchidates.
