This meeting served as an occasion to reaffirm the robust bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of Peru, characterized by renewed dynamism in the political sphere, within a consistent framework of cooperation and coordination. Both sides highlighted the significance of the historic visit by His Majesty King Mohammed VI to Peru in 2004, which was considered a pivotal moment in enhancing the partnership between the two nations and opening new horizons for South-South cooperation, a strategic option pursued by Morocco under the wise leadership of the King.

He also commended the positions of Peruvians within various regional and international parliamentary bodies in Latin America, particularly emphasizing the supportive stances for Morocco within the Andean Parliament, the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament, as well as within the geopolitical group at the Inter-Parliamentary Union, which collectively affirmed their support for Morocco’s territorial integrity and the autonomy initiative as a realistic solution to the fabricated conflict over Western Sahara.
For his part, Eduardo Salhuana Cavedis reiterated his country’s support for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco, confirming the support of the Peruvian Parliament for Morocco’s autonomy initiative, considering it the only serious solution to the dispute.
He also praised the visit of the President of the House of Councillors to Peru, highlighting his country’s desire to benefit from Morocco’s leading experience in various fields, which has made the Kingdom a model to emulate under the wise leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
