The Minister of Economic Inclusion, Small Business, Employment and Skills, Younes Sekkouri, has reviewed the achievements accumulated at the national level since 2013, in a presentation at the 36th session of the Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families, on the occasion of the review of the 2nd periodic report on the implementation of the international convention on this subject.

Sekkouri recalled, on this occasion, the support provided by Morocco to international and regional efforts related to the migration governance, contributing to the development of several pioneering initiatives, such as the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, adopted at a conference held in December 2018 in Morocco under the auspices of the United Nations.

At the African level, the Kingdom's efforts and initiatives were crowned by the appointment of HM King Mohammed VI as "Leader of the African Union (AU) on the issue of Migration", on the occasion of the 28th AU Summit of Heads of State and Government (January 2017).

This is a recognition of the Sovereign’s efforts in the field of migration in Africa and His insightful vision on this issue, having allowed in particular the creation of the African Observatory on Migration (OAM), which is a mechanism to support migration and a concretization of Morocco’s role as a leader on the continent in the issues of migration, said Sekkouri.

The minister, who chairs the Moroccan delegation composed of representatives of all sectors concerned with migration, noted that the efforts made by the Kingdom at the international and regional level for the management and promotion of migration governance and protection of migrants' rights, are based on an unwavering commitment, which is reflected in the national policy on migration and asylum.

Adopted in 2013, in accordance with the vision and high guidance of HM King Mohammed VI, on the establishment of a new migration policy according to a human and multidimensional approach, this policy, said the Minister, has integrated axes, relating to the upgrading of the legal framework of migration, asylum and the fight against human trafficking, the regularization of the legal situation of migrants, the processing of asylum applications and the development of a national strategy in the field of migration and asylum.

Affirming that Cambodia is a gateway for Morocco to Southeast Asian countries and that Morocco is a gateway for Cambodia to Africa, the Speaker of the House of Representatives informed the official Cambodian and the delegation accompanying him of the Moroccan parliamentary experience, while emphasizing the importance of parliamentary diplomacy to strengthen communication, dialogue and regional and international coordination, as well as the exchange of experiences and parliamentary expertise.

This performance mainly reflects higher sales prices in all three segments, which largely offset lower sales volumes, the group said in a statement on its results at the end of December 2022.

At the retail level, Roche's turnover increased by 51% year-on-year, mainly due to improved prices, in a context of declining export volumes to major importing regions, the same source said.

Regarding fertilizers, sales increased by 44% compared to last year, thanks to higher sales prices, which offset the impact of lower export volumes. The less favorable economic conditions for farmers, linked to the price increase, led to a decrease in global demand.

As for the gross margin, it amounted to MAD 70.38 billion, up from 55.22 billion dirhams recorded a year earlier. The improvement in sales prices has largely offset the increase in raw material costs, including ammonia and sulfur.
