Minister of Youth, Culture and Communication, Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid, on Wednesday, highlighted the efforts of Morocco's King Mohammed VI in favour of the Palestinian cause.
Bensaid stressed that Morocco, under the leadership of the King, continues to firmly support the Palestinians in obtaining all their legitimate rights, first and foremost their right to establish their independent state on the June 4, 1967 borders with Al-Quds as its capital.
This was in a speech delivered on his behalf by Morocco's ambassador to Bahrain, Mustapha Benkhyi, at the opening of the 54th session of the Arab Information Ministers' Council.
Bensaid noted that the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency, under the personal supervision of King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, is pursuing its mission to improve the living conditions of the Holy City's inhabitants.
He stated that Morocco has responded directly to their needs through economic, social, housing, education and cultural projects, with a budget of nearly $65 million, encompassing 200 major projects and dozens of small and medium-sized projects.
He added that the Moroccan presidency of the Arab Information Ministers' Council took place in a delicate context marked by a strong dynamic in the media and communication sector, in light of the profound geopolitical upheavals in the Arab region.
In this context, he said, it had become necessary to focus collective efforts on strengthening joint Arab media action, intending to qualify it, adapting it and raising its level of effectiveness.
