Chairman of the AU Commission also thanked the North African Kingdom for its initiatives on migration, its valuable contributions to the socioeconomic development of several African countries and the regularization of the situation of thousands illegal African migrants. Mahamat’s talks with El Othmani also covered cooperation prospects between Morocco and the AU in the fields of agriculture, renewable energies, sustainable development, education and vocational training. The AU Peace and Security Council approved lately a proposal made by King Mohammed VI to set up an African Migration Observatory.
