This meeting held by videoconference, in which Morocco was represented by Minister of Youth, Culture and Communication, Mehdi Bensaid, was an opportunity to recall the commitment of the Kingdom, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, to support the actions and initiatives undertaken by the ALIPH Foundation for the protection of heritage in conflict areas and areas at risk, said Tuesday a statement by the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication.

In his speech, Bensaid said that Morocco continues its involvement at all levels against terrorism and its effects, including in the cultural field, where it provides countries victims of terrorist acts or natural disasters, with its experience in the prevention, protection and restoration of heritage and museum works, reiterating the determination of the Kingdom, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, to confront acts of destruction of the heritage of humanity, perpetrated by individuals with the sole objective of breaking the traces of human genius through the centuries.

Morocco, which has chosen multilateralism, will continue its investment in the fight for the preservation of world heritage in all its dimensions: both technical, political and legal, recalled the Minister, noting the commitment of the Moroccan government to implement the Royal vision of cooperation and solidarity between peoples.
