Asilah - "The Asilah Call," which wrapped up the inaugural symposium of the 29th session of the Al-Mouatamid Ibn Abbad University, urged "the establishment of strong and operational regional blocs in order to achieve economies of scale in an increasingly globalized world."
Participants to the symposium on "Nation-States and Regional Unions in the South" (August 8-9), said this approach is likely to create conditions of solidarity and ensure economic and social development and peace and stability in Africa.
They welcomed in this context King Mohammed VI' initiatives aimed at strengthening synergy and complementarity between African countries.
"The time has come to assess African experiences in regional integration in order to identify the weakness points of the nation-states which weigh on their stability" they added.
