several parties, expressed in a press release published Monday its "support for the efforts made by the Kingdom of Morocco and its positive role in achieving a political solution to this issue, in particular the autonomy proposal, which was widely welcomed and supported by the international community."

The forum’s members, who met in the capital Tegucigalpa on February 29, 2020, expressed their full support for the initiatives of rapprochement between the two peoples and cooperation between the Republic of Honduras and the Kingdom of Morocco, calling on the Honduran government to explore all means to strengthen bilateral relations through the development of a concrete joint action plan.

Morocco is today a significant player on the African continent and a link between Africa and the Arab world, hence the importance for Honduras to strengthen its relations with the Kingdom to take advantage of opportunities offered to the two countries as part of South-South cooperation, the source said.

Highlighting the importance of the action of the Moroccan Agency for International Cooperation (AMCI) and of Morocco's experience in key areas for Honduras, including agriculture, justice, renewable energies, water and electricity, the Forum noted that the Central American country can benefit from this Moroccan experience and strengthen its cooperation with the Kingdom in other sectors such as higher education, social development and natural disaster management.

The Forum said it was committed to backing efforts to improve this relationship by taking concrete measures, calling for the signing of a cooperation agreement between the two countries in order to strengthen South-South cooperation and triangular cooperation.

The Forum is intended to be a multi-partisan space dedicated to promoting women’s political participation.
