Morocco's Head of Government, Aziz Akhannouch, arrived in Nairobi on Sunday, May 10, 2026, to represent King Mohammed VI at the Africa Forward Summit and the 4th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Congo Basin Climate Commission (CBCC). The visit underscores Morocco's commitment to African cooperation and climate action.
The Africa Forward Summit focuses on accelerating the continent's development through innovation and partnerships. The CBCC summit addresses climate challenges in the Congo Basin, a critical region for global carbon storage. Morocco has been an active participant in both initiatives.
Akhannouch's delegation includes key ministers and advisors. The trip is part of Morocco's broader strategy to strengthen ties with sub-Saharan African nations, particularly in areas of sustainable development and environmental protection.
