The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has hailed Morocco’s humanitarian treatment of migrants and the way it deals with the issue of immigration.
This was stated here Monday by IOM Director-General William Lacy Swing during his meeting with Moroccan Head of Government Abdelilah Benkirane.
He commended the initiatives taken by Morocco, under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, in the humanitarian treatment of the issue of immigration through the regularisation of hundreds of immigrants and the wise policy pursued by Morocco in this field, based on openness and human values.
According to a statement issued by the office of the Head of Government, Swing also expressed the IOM’s readiness to grant all forms of support to Morocco in the field of migration, particularly at the technical level in which the IOM has 65 years of experience and mobilising more 500 points worldwide.
Benkirane highlighted Morocco’s commitment to the human values of tolerance and assistance, recalling the considerable efforts made by the kingdom, alongside its partners, to support and accompany development efforts on the African continent and to meet the economic and social conditions for stability in the source countries of migrants.
