Morocco's interest in South-South cooperation is reflected in a strong desire to open channels of communication, sharing of experiences and expertise, and unification of positions with the countries of the region, underlined Malki during his participation in the 39th ordinary session of FOPREL, held Thursday by teleconference.

In this regard, El Malki highlighted the contribution of the Moroccan Parliament since its adherence as an observer member to the Forum in 2014 and the new dynamic of cooperation between the two parties, expressing the firm will to continue the dialogue with FOPREL and to consolidate the ties of friendship with the representatives of the peoples of the region in the era of the new presidency of the forum.

The 39th ordinary session of FOPREL was marked by handing the presidency to Dulce María Sauri, President of the Chamber of Deputies of Mexico.

Created in 1994, FOPREL aims to strengthen the setting up and the harmonization of the laws of member countries and to develop consultation mechanisms between the speakers of legislative institutions in member countries to address the challenges facing the region.

FOPREL brings together the speakers of the Parliaments of 10 member countries, namely Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.
