he Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration was formally adopted this Monday (Dec.10) at the intergovernmental conference on the global compact for migration held in Marrakech. The Pact aims to strengthen “cooperation on international migration in all their aspects”. Speaking on this occasion, Bourita highlighted the huge efforts made by Morocco to reach a global consensus on the issue of migration. The pact, which is about 40 pages long, “promotes international cooperation on migration between all relevant actors, knowing that no single state can handle the issue of migration alone”. “We will implement the Global Compact by cooperating bilaterally, regionally and multilaterally and by giving a new impetus to the global partnership, in a spirit of solidarity,” says the text.
