Hernández, who is leading a high-level delegation on a working visit to Morocco, said the position reflects PARLACEN’s founding principles of respecting state sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs, according to a press release from the House of Councilors.
The delegation is expected to visit Laayoune in the coming days to observe development projects in the southern provinces. Hernández welcomed Morocco’s strategic role as a regional partner to Central America and its growing ties with Africa and the Arab world under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI.
Marking a decade of parliamentary cooperation between the two bodies, Hernández commended Morocco’s institutional support for PARLACEN-led initiatives, including the Regional Forum on Migration held in the Dominican Republic and the upcoming Economic and Security Forum scheduled for El Salvador.
The meeting also addressed broader interparliamentary cooperation in the face of shifting regional and international dynamics.
Ould Errachid highlighted the alignment of views ahead of the Regional Forum on Immigration later this month in the Dominican Republic and expressed appreciation for PARLACEN’s backing of Moroccan initiatives such as the Afro-Latin American Parliamentary Forum (AFROLAC) and the Morocco–Latin America and Caribbean Economic Forum.
The delegation’s upcoming visit to Morocco’s southern provinces will provide an opportunity to assess progress in key sectors including healthcare, education, vocational training, and infrastructure. These efforts are positioning the region as a development hub linking Africa, Europe, and Latin America.
Morocco has held observer status in PARLACEN since June 2015. The regional body comprises Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and the Dominican Republic.
