Morocco’s Committee of Foreign Affairs, National Defense, Islamic Affairs and Moroccans Living Abroad, , unanimously adopted last week the bill approving the Constitutive Act of the AU in the House of Representatives.

Morocco World News reported on Wednesday that Morocco has officially notified the countries constituting the Commission of the AU of this development.
