Morocco is proud of the role it plays as a country dedicated to promoting dialogue between cultures and civilizations and to upholding universal values. Many national institutions and associations contribute to this objective.

[…] Because human civilizations are complementary, inter-related links in the chain of mankind's history, they belong to all humans. Accordingly, and regardless of how much they have contributed to human civilization, no nation or people should have a monopoly or any form of guardianship over the human heritage, or claim to be superior to others.

However, there is a challenge for all of us, in the North as well as in the South; it concerns our ability to understand and recognize this global trend, while respecting cultural diversity, promoting dialogue and mutual esteem, and upholding the right to be different.

We firmly believe that the strengthening 0f dialogue between different cultures and civilizations as well as the respect of cultural diversity can only reach the level of international reality through a national anchor, allowing the ownership of every citizen's noble objectives.
