High-Level Meeting to Advance African Youth Cooperation
As part of its efforts to strengthen parallel diplomacy and expand opportunities for African cooperation, a delegation from the Moroccan Youth Council for Diplomatic and International Cooperation was received by Her Excellency Ms. Cornelia Wonkerlee Kroh, Minister of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Liberia.
The MYCDIC delegation was led by Ms. Salma Khalfi, MYCDIC Ambassador to the French Republic. The meeting was also attended by His Excellency Mr. Teeko Tozay Yorlay, Ambassador of the Republic of Liberia to the French Republic.
The high-level reception represented an important institutional opportunity to present MYCDIC’s strategic vision, international structure and programmes with a continental dimension.
Strengthening Relations Between Moroccan and Liberian Youth
Discussions focused on opportunities for cooperation between Moroccan and Liberian youth, as well as the development of initiatives capable of strengthening communication, institutional dialogue and the exchange of experience between young people in both countries.
This engagement is aligned with the vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, May God Assist Him, for the consolidation of African partnerships founded on solidarity, integration and South-South cooperation.
Through its African engagement, MYCDIC seeks to contribute to stronger relations between youth institutions across the continent and to support initiatives that place young people at the centre of sustainable development, regional cooperation and international dialogue.
The African Youth Summit Initiative
The meeting also provided an opportunity to present and discuss the African Youth Summit, a strategic initiative led by the Moroccan Youth Council for Diplomatic and International Cooperation.
The proposed summit aims to strengthen dialogue among African youth, build lasting connections between youth-led and youth-focused institutions, and create a continental platform for exchanging ideas, expertise and practical solutions.
The initiative is also intended to support the meaningful participation of young people in development processes and encourage their involvement in shaping the future of cooperation across Africa.
Through the African Youth Summit, MYCDIC seeks to bring together young leaders, institutions, policymakers, experts and strategic partners around shared African priorities and long-term opportunities for cooperation.
Supporting Morocco’s African Engagement
This official reception reflects the growing position of the Moroccan Youth Council for Diplomatic and International Cooperation as an active youth and diplomatic stakeholder at the African and international levels.
It also highlights the Council’s role in supporting the international visibility of the Kingdom of Morocco and strengthening channels of communication and cooperation with brotherly African countries.
MYCDIC remains committed to advancing constructive African partnerships, reinforcing South-South cooperation and empowering young people to contribute actively to the continent’s institutional, diplomatic and development priorities.
