The Moroccan Youth Council for Diplomatic and International Cooperation is an independent, non-governmental national youth body founded by young Moroccans from both inside and outside the country. The initiative was launched by Moataz Kebbari, with the aim of empowering young Moroccan talents to play a role in parallel diplomacy and represent the Kingdom of Morocco on the international stage.
The Council was established in support of the High Vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him, to strengthen the role of youth in defending national causes—foremost among them the Moroccan Sahara—and to reinforce Morocco’s image at the regional and global levels.
The Council operates as a complementary effort to official diplomacy and works to build strategic partnerships with governmental and non-governmental institutions both nationally and internationally through responsible youth-led initiatives that promote the image of Morocco as a leading and open country.
The Council is officially registered in Spain, in accordance with Article 22 of the Spanish Constitution and Organic Law 1/2002, under the European tax number: G75872663.
We strive to build a generation of young leaders capable of representing Morocco effectively on the international stage, contributing to the shaping of future policies, and defending the Kingdom’s interests with national pride and diplomatic responsibility.
Our vision is to elevate Moroccan diplomacy through youth engagement in international policy-making and to position young people as active participants in global diplomatic dialogues.
We are also committed to promoting global youth diplomacy and fostering cooperation between the Council—as a non-governmental entity—and a wide range of governmental and non-governmental actors at both the national and international levels.
We believe in the ability of Moroccan youth to bring about positive change through parallel diplomacy and international cooperation.
Our mission is to create an institutional space that embraces the potential of Moroccan youth both in Morocco and abroad, offering them opportunities for meaningful participation in national and international affairs. We aim to promote intercultural dialogue, strengthen understanding between nations, and project Morocco as a strategic, open, and visionary country.
As part of its mission, the Council is developing ambitious future projects, including:
