Monrovia - A Moroccan delegation took part on Monday in Monrovia to the high-level meeting of ministers of Foreign Affairs, Finance and Defense of the Mano River Union (MRU) on the invitation of its member States. The Moroccan delegation was led by Ambassador, Director General of the Moroccan Agency for International Cooperation (AMCI) Mohamed Methqal and notably included Morocco's Ambassador to Guinea and Sierra Leone, Isam Taïb. The meeting's opening ceremony was attended by Liberia's president, Joseph Nyuma Boakai, as well as ministers and experts from delegations of MRU member States (Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone). During this high-level meeting, Methqal delivered a speech on behalf of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, in which he stated the Kingdom of Morocco's readiness to continue, in accordance with the High Royal Orientations, its support to the MRU's member States and Secretariat at bilateral, regional and multilatera l levels. In the final communiqué adopted following the meeting, the Ministers welcomed the Kingdom of Morocco's important role as strategic and historic bilateral partner to the Mano River Union's member States and its firm and constant support to the Secretariat of the sub-regional organization. The MRU's delegations have examined, during the meeting, a series of political, economic, social, security and institutional issues aimed at revitalizing the Union, particularly with regard to the mobility of people and goods, and the implementation of the ECOWAS institutional framework. The meeting also discussed the pilot project for a single currency and ways of strengthening the Mano River Union Secretariat. Morocco has been an observer member of the Mano River Union since 2002, when the Kingdom facilitated mediation between Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea to restore confidence and peace in the region and put an end to the conflicts that were hampering relations between these countries.
