Colombian Senate Forms Friendship Group with Morocco: “Very Clear Message” to Government to Maintain Bilateral Ties – Group President

German Blanco responded to the Moroccan news station RIM Radio by adding that this friendship group, which consists of ten senators from the major political parties in both the majority and opposition, indicates the desire of the Senate to forge “healthy” ties with Morocco.

“All of us desire positive, open, and equal relationships with a friendly nation like the Kingdom of Morocco. The variety of political ideologies that have backed this move amply demonstrates the significance of these parliamentary and diplomatic connections with Morocco for the Congress as a whole “said German Blanco, the Speaker of the Deputies’ Chamber.

Seven of the 10 members of the friendship group with Morocco are affiliated with parties that are part of the ruling coalition, according to the organization’s president, who is a member of the Colombian conservative party. It should be mentioned that the buddy circle includes the Senate Speaker and both vice-Speakers.

Governments come and go, but relationships between nations must be maintained throughout time. As lawmakers, it is our duty to work in this direction and show Morocco has adequate support in Colombia’s political class, regardless of the parties that are in power or opposition.

In this regard, German Blanco brought to mind the motion passed by a majority of 63 senators out of 108, in which the majority signatories indicated “their concern with the creation of contacts with a separatist organization that harm the relationships between Colombia and Morocco.”
