The Speaker of Morocco’s House of Representatives, Rachid Talbi Alami, called, on Monday in Rabat, on national parliaments and the international parliamentary community to advocate for facilitating technology transfer to low-income countries.
In remarks delivered at the opening of the 10th International Parliamentary Forum on Social Justice, held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Talbi Alami stressed the need to curb the preponderance of patents widely used, particularly in the fields of medicine and industries essential to modern life.
In an interdependent international context marked by uneven globalization, the impact of factors generating inequality at the global level continues to intensify, inevitably reverberating at the national level in the form of social and territorial disparities, Talbi Alami said in a speech read on his behalf by the House’s Deputy Speaker, Abdelmajid Fassi Fihri.
Talbi Alami also stressed that non-industrialized countries in the Global South bear a disproportionate share of the impacts of climate change, despite their limited contribution to greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming. He further warned against widening disparities in access to and use of advanced technologies, ranging from information and digital technologies to artificial intelligence.
In this context, Talbi Alami indicated that these challenges are at the heart of the major projects undertaken by the Kingdom, under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, in line with the changes taking place in the Moroccan economy and society.
In this regard, he recalled the launch of the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH) in 2005, which aims in particular to combat exclusion, improve incomes, support the social economy, encourage income-generating projects, and promote education and training, highlighting the positive impact of this initiative on spreading a culture of solidarity and improving social development indicators.
While highlighting Morocco’s progress in infrastructure, economic modernization and the reduction of multidimensional poverty, Talbi Alami stressed that His Majesty King Mohammed VI has consistently emphasized the need to give democracy its full economic and social dimension and to narrow disparities.
He also indicated that the 2026 Finance Law has placed territorial development at the core of budgetary policies, alongside the launch, during the second half of 2025, of a new generation of territorial development programs through consultative meetings held in several cities and municipalities across the Kingdom, with a view to defining priorities and designing programs based on reliable data and achievable objectives.
This new generation of programs, combined with public policies, is expected to help reduce many social and territorial disparities, thanks to the convergence of public intervention programs and the adoption of the principle of proximity in the design and implementation of projects.
