King Mohammed VI has held private talks in the royal palace in Casablanca with President of the Palestinian national authority, Mahmoud Abbas (Abou Mazen), who is in Morocco for a working visit.
Abbas stressed the Sovereign's strenuous efforts to settle the problems related to the Arab nation, recalling that king Mohammed VI is the chairman of Al-Quds Committee, an OIC body that strongly supports the Palestinian cause, especially the Holy City.
"Mohammed VI's role in the Palestinian cause is in continuity with late king Hassan II's effective role," he stressed.
Abbas underlined that “the only solution to the Palestinian crisis is to put an end to the illogical and illegal blockade imposed on the Palestinian people.”
At the same time, King Mohammed VI, chairman of Al-Quds Committee, has appointed Abdelkbir Alaoui M'Daghri, director general of "Bayt Mal Al-Quds" agency, replacing Abou Marouane, former Palestinian ambassador to Morocco. Professor Abdelkbir Alaoui M'Daghri, former Habous and Islamic Affairs minister (1984 – 2002), is a researcher, lawyer and author of several writing.
The new appointment conforms to the Palestinian authority desire to see a Moroccan continue at the head of the Agency set up in 1997 by late king Hassan II.
The Agency, an offshoot of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), works to mobilize material and financial resources in defence of Palestinian rights over the city of Al-Quds Acharif as capital of Palestine, and to safeguard its civilizational, religious, cultural and architectural heritage.
The Casablanca-based Agency is run by a board of directors and a committee grouping 16 Arab and Islamic countries.
