Rachid Talbi El Alami, President of Morocco's House of Representatives, represented King Mohammed VI at the international "One Health" Summit held in Lyon, France. He was accompanied by Energy Minister Leila Benali and senior officials from Morocco's ministries of Health and other relevant departments.
The One Health approach is a globally recognized framework that integrates human, animal, and environmental health, recognizing that the well-being of people is closely connected to the health of animals and shared ecosystems. International summits under this framework bring together heads of state, ministers, and parliamentary leaders to coordinate cross-border responses to health threats.
Morocco's high-level representation at the Lyon summit underscores the Kingdom's commitment to multilateral health diplomacy and its engagement with international frameworks aimed at preventing pandemics and addressing emerging health risks at the human-animal-environment interface.
The presence of Minister Leila Benali alongside parliamentary leadership signals Morocco's integrated approach to the One Health agenda, linking energy, environment, and public health policy in its international engagements.
