Relations between Morocco and the Central African Republic, based on solidarity and mutual cooperation, continue to strengthen thanks to fruitful exchanges and joint initiatives in various areas.
Since 2014, the Royal Armed Forces have participated in maintaining peace in the Central African Republic, within MINUSCA, with a contingent of 750 soldiers.
During his current visit to Rabat, Evariste Ngamana, President of the Parliament of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC), expressed his organization’s constant support for Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara.
As a result of this visit, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the Chamber of Advisors and CEMAC aimed at strengthening cooperation between the two parties.
This statement echoes that of Ms. Sylvie Baïpo-Temon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Francophonie and Central Africans Abroad, who reiterated, during a meeting with Nasser Bourita, held in June 2024, the support of the Central African Republic to the Moroccan autonomy plan as the only credible solution consistent with the Charter of the United Nations.
The head of Central African diplomacy also praised the excellent relations between the two countries and transmitted a written message from the Central African President, Faustin-Archange Touadéra, to King Mohammed VI, emphasizing the desire to further consolidate this cooperation.
Morocco’s efforts to support the process of ending the crisis in the Central African Republic were particularly highlighted.
Furthermore, the Central African Republic is seeking Moroccan support in the areas of decentralization, local development and regionalization.
-During his visit to Rabat, Bruno Yapandé, Central African Minister of Territorial Administration, highlighted the importance of this partnership to strengthen local capacities in his country.
A significant step in this collaboration was marked by the signing, in Rabat, of an agreement between the Mediator institutions of the two countries.
This agreement aims to strengthen the exchange of experiences, the processing of complaints and joint training actions.
Mohamed Benalilou, Mediator of the Kingdom, and Laurent Ngon-Baba, his Central African counterpart, expressed their desire to collaborate to coordinate their positions in regional and international bodies.
These initiatives demonstrate the desire of the two countries to build a solid strategic partnership, both on the diplomatic, economic and institutional levels, in the interest of the Moroccan and Central African people.
