During the discussion, Ambassador Amrani unveiled the comprehensive vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI for the Atlantic region. He stressed that the sovereign's vision aims to make the Atlantic a unique area for connectivity and advanced integration, highlighting that structural integration between Southern nations and their international partners is crucial for achieving Atlantic prosperity. Amrani outlined Morocco’s deep-rooted commitment to the Atlantic space, emphasizing its shared destiny with other African countries and calling for deeper and more efficient interactions to address the multiple challenges of an uncertain international landscape. According to the diplomat, an integrated Atlantic space serves as a “vector of trust,” offering long-term political stability and visibility.

Amrani also highlighted the kingdom's efforts to promote a sustainable international order free from divisions and tensions, emphasizing the principle of effective multilateralism guiding Morocco's actions within the Atlantic space. He illustrated this commitment through several strategic initiatives underway in the region, describing Morocco's approach as building lasting bridges in the Atlantic space and providing enduring solutions for interconnected destinies, rather than limiting itself to short-term crisis management.

Moreover, the diplomat emphasized the significance of ministerial meetings held in Rabat and New York and the recent adoption of an action plan by African Atlantic states to address common priorities such as combating terrorism, organized crime, maritime piracy, and illegal immigration, as well as focusing on the blue economy, energy, and connectivity. In this context, he underscored that His Majesty the King's Atlantic Initiative extends beyond the Atlantic space to encompass broader South-South cooperation, including facilitating Sahel countries' access to the Atlantic and integrating these states into the global economic system by improving their access to maritime routes. Amrani also emphasized that this initiative reflects Morocco's unwavering commitment to providing concrete solutions focused on impactful results for African populations, highlighting the significance of connectivity projects like the Port of Dakhla and the Nigeria-Morocco gas pipeline and illustrating how these infrastructures enhance regional integration and shared prosperity. Regarding the transatlantic partnership, the Moroccan diplomat reaffirmed Morocco's commitment as a reliable U.S. partner and expressed optimism about the future of transatlantic cooperation.

In her turn, Ambassador Jessye Lapenn praised Morocco for its leadership and ongoing commitment to promoting the Atlantic space, highlighting shared values that underpin the emergence of a common Atlantic identity. She called on member states to collaborate closely to overcome shared challenges and seize opportunities for integrated development.

Lapenn also stressed the importance of ensuring the sustainability of Atlantic Ocean resources. The Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation focuses on "the collective resolution of common challenges and advancing shared principles of cooperation," as embodied in the Declaration on Atlantic Cooperation adopted in New York in September 2023.

Highlighting Morocco's strong ties with Latin America and the Caribbean, Vice President of the Atlantic Council’s Latin America Center, Jason Marczack, emphasized in his concluding remarks the significance of cooperation between Atlantic African, Latin American, and Caribbean countries. In this context, he pointed out that Morocco is Brazil's third-largest trading partner in Africa, signifying the potential for these relationships to flourish. He also underscored the need for South-South dialogue and the interconnected nature of global challenges, advocating for an affirmative agenda to strengthen partnerships and build on existing ties across the Atlantic, particularly as Africa's population is set to double by 2050.
