Morocco plays a “vital” role as a bridge between Africa and the Americas by promoting dialogue, partnership and South-South cooperation, said Albert Ramdin, Secretary General of the Washington-based Organization of American States (OAS).
The Kingdom has become “an indispensable bridge between Africa and the Americas thanks to our deep ties and its active involvement within the OAS”, emphasized Albert Ramdin at an art exhibition organized Tuesday evening by the Moroccan Embassy in Washington. The event also marked the closing of the Francophonie Month.
More than just a permanent observer at the OAS, the Kingdom stands out as a “natural partner that speaks the languages of our member states, understands our cultures and shares our history”, he said to an audience comprising figures from the cultural and artistic worlds, diplomats, representatives of international organizations, members of the Francophone community and leading figures from civil society.
Morocco is a nation where history, diversity and creativity speak as one, said Ramdin, adding that the Kingdom is “a place where art creates a vibrant dialogue between tradition and modernity, blending earthly colors with the enduring light of the Maghreb”.
“This is what culture does: it unites without erasing differences and elevates without excluding. And this is what we need today”, he emphasized.
Speaking about the art exhibition organized by the Moroccan Embassy, the Secretary-General of the OAS praised the initiative, describing it as a valuable means of fostering closer ties between the Americas and Africa.
Ramdin, calling for greater cultural exchange as a means of promoting peace and inclusion, also expressed hope that this event would inspire new collaborations and strengthen sustainable interregional cooperation.
