Speaker of Latin America’s Parliament, Jorge Pizarro Estéban Soto, has voiced firm backing to the efforts made by the Secretary General of the United Nations for the resolution of the Sahara issue. He also praised the excellent ties existing between the Parliaments of Latin America and Morocco, saying that the two sides are determined to enhance further political, commercial and cultural relations to take up common international challenges. The Speaker of the Latin American Parliament also conferred with speakers of the two chambers of the Moroccan parliament on means to strengthen relations between the legislative institutions. The forum will be a venue for joint action and a mechanism for parliamentary political dialogue and consultation on priority strategic questions. The two parties agreed to organize two events, namely a symposium of speakers of regional and continental parliaments, next July, and an international symposium, next September, to discuss the effective launch of the Africa-Latin America and the Caribbean parliamentary forum.
