During their meeting, both officials discussed Morocco’s pivotal role and consistent contributions to un peacekeeping operations.

Morocco’s commitment stems from a strategic vision rooted in over six decades of participation in un peacekeeping since 1960.

Ranked ninth among the top troop-contributing countries to un peacekeeping missions, Morocco currently chairs the un Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) for 2026 and serves as coordinator for the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) on peacekeeping matters. This leadership underscores the trust the international community places in Morocco’s approach to global peace and security.

Lacroix’s visit aligns with the un Secretary-General’s sweeping reform agenda, including the ‘UN 80’ initiative to streamline the organization’s operations and a comprehensive review of peacekeeping strategies and international peace and security frameworks, aiming to prioritize political solutions in conflict resolution.
