Dr. Salim M. AlMalik, Director General of the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO), reviewed ways to strengthen cooperation between the Organization and Morocco, with Mr. Said Amzazi, Minister of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research of the Kingdom of Morocco, in the fields of education, science, culture and communication.

Dr. AlMalik lauded the permanent support of His Majesty Mohammed VI of Morocco to ISESCO and the care the Organization receives from the late King Hassan II since its inception.

Moreover, the two parties examined ISESCO’s future programmes of cooperation between ISESCO and Morocco under the Organization’s new vision which is based on two orientations: building an innovative and smart civilizational system and empowering youth, women and children to enjoy their educational, scientific, cultural, technological and environmental rights. All these issues receive special attention from the Moroccan Government.

Mr. Amzazi reaffirmed his country’s appreciation of the role played by ISESCO to support Islamic world countries in the fields of education, science and culture, wishing more success to the Organization in light of its new vision.

The meeting which was attended by Mr. Samir Addahre, Ambassador, Permanent Delegate of Morocco to UNESCO, was held on the sidelines of the 40^th UNESCO General Conference.
