This meeting is organised under the high patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI and the President of Senegal, Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye, and at the initiative of the “Timbuktu Institute–African Center For Peace Studies”, in collaboration with the International University of Rabat (UIR) and the Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion (CDG).
In his speech at the opening of this event, the Minister Delegate in charge of Digital Transition and Administration Reform, Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, highlighted the historical and fraternal ties between Morocco and Senegal, especially at the cultural and human level. “This fraternity is ancestral; it is in our DNA,” she exclaimed.
For her part, the Senegalese Ambassador to Morocco, Seynabou Dial, highlighted the historical and exceptional ties between Rabat and Dakar, stressing that “Morocco is our second country, just as Senegal is for Moroccans.”
Signed in 1964, the Establishment Convention between Morocco and Senegal contains a series of provisions aimed at strengthening bilateral relations, including the granting to Senegalese residents in Morocco of the same rights as Moroccan citizens, and vice versa.
