Morocco Unanimously Designated to Represent Africa at International Organization Migration IOM Council

29 October 2015 Geneva - The African Group on Thursday unanimously designated Morocco to represent the continent at the Council of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), as of November 2015.
This designation comes as a strong sign of confidence in the kingdom's ability to defend the interests of the continent within the organization and recognizes its active role in the current debate on migration issues at the international level, notably within the IOM.
The African choice of Morocco as a board member of the organization comes to reinforce the continued and renewed commitment of the Kingdom in favor of handling the issues of migration in a more coordinated and integrated manner internationally and regionally, with the participation and cooperation of the countries of origin, transit and destination.
