The Crans Montana Forum (FCM), organised from 12 to 14 March in Dakhla, under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, under the theme "Africa and South-South Cooperation", constitutes "a success for the African continent", reports the Equatorial Guinean newspaper "Ebano".

Despite the hostile media campaign orchestrated by detractors of Morocco's territorial integrity, the Forum, in which 800 participants from 112 countries around the world took part, including about a hundred heads of state and government, ministers, presidents of parliament, and parliamentarians, was a "resounding success", stressed "Ebano" in an article published recently on this subject.

In this regard, the newspaper focused on the message addressed by H.M. King Mohammed VI to the participants in this Forum, in which the Sovereign notably emphasised Morocco's African policy, which is based on a global, integrated, and inclusive approach aimed at promoting peace and stability, fostering sustainable human development, and preserving the cultural and spiritual identity of the populations.

In this message, H.M. the King stressed that the originality of this policy also lies in the fact that it is no longer the exclusive preserve of the government or institutional actors. On the contrary, it is increasingly assumed and taken over by private economic operators, the newspaper also recalled.

The newspaper also echoed the remarks made by the president and co-founder of the Crans Montana Forum, Jean Paul Carteron, describing Morocco as a model of stability and cohesion in Africa thanks to its performance in creating a synthesis between respect for tradition and the need for progress.
