In Morocco's statement during the general debate of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly, Mr. Hilale recalled that the High Royal Instructions stipulate that the proposed amendments of the Family Code emerging from broad participatory consultations are to be submitted to HM the King for approval within a maximum period of six months.

The ambassador also noted that Morocco, in line with the High Royal Guidelines, is engaged in a virtuous all-out development dynamic, through large-scale structuring projects, at the head of which lies the new development model. These socio-economic projects relate to vital sustainable development realms, including energy transition, water, social protection and the fight against natural disasters, the diplomat pointed out.

These projects are part of an integrated vision that is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Hilale said.

The ambassador also underlined the importance of strengthening the resilience of societies in a world beset by several challenges, while advocating for a global approach based on the principles of equity and of social and territorial justice with a view to achieving the SDGs.

The diplomat also stressed the need to work towards a multilateralism based on cooperation and solidarity with the United Nations at its heart.
