Strasbourg: Benyaich reiterates Morocco's full support for development of North-South Center

Speaking at the meeting of the executive committee of said the center, of which she is the vice-president, Benyaich thanked the members for their confidence in Morocco by welcoming her last year as the first non-European statutory member in the presidency of the Executive Committee of this Council of Europe's body, highlighting the importance of this center as a space for exchanges between the two shores of the Mediterranean and its role in mutual understanding between peoples.

She also recalled Morocco's adherence to the goals of the center which is aimed at promoting inter-cultural dialogue and cooperation between the two shores of the Mediterranean and the African continent, saying that the Kingdom hosted this year two of its meetings: the first was a workshop last March in Tetouan on the theme ''strengthening women's access to the political life in the Mediterranean: challenges and opportunities'', and the second, held in June, was the third edition of the International conference of the North-South process for strengthening the role of women.
