Marrakech - Morocco, thanks to its strategic geographic position, is well-positioned to play a key role within the international maritime community, said on Sunday Director by interim of the London-based International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund (IOPCF).

"IOPCF needs Morocco and Morocco needs IOPCF," José Maura Barandiaran told MAP on the eve of the opening, in Marrakech, of the spring 2011 sessions of the IOPCF (March 29 - April 1).

He recalled that Morocco was chosen unanimously by the member states of this Fund to host the sessions, which will bring together several NGOs and international experts.

"Morocco, which plays a significant role in the region, is active within the international maritime bodies," he added.

Barandiaran seized the opportunity to hail the efforts made by Morocco’s Ambassador to Great Britain Chrifa Lalla Joumala aiming to strengthen the role of the kingdom within international organizations. (MAP)
