Morocco Hosts Multilateralism Conference in Stockholm to Strengthen Global Cooperation Amid Shifting Geopolitics

On Thursday, April 24, 2026, the Residence of Morocco in Stockholm hosted a high-level conference focused on the future of multilateralism amid a changing global order.

The event took place at a time when international cooperation faces growing pressure from ongoing conflicts, economic competition, and climate challenges, according to Morocco World News.

The conference was organized by the Moroccan diplomatic mission in Sweden and brought together officials and experts to discuss strategies for strengthening multilateral institutions in response to shifting geopolitical dynamics.

Discussions centered on how multilateral cooperation can adapt to current global tensions while upholding principles of international law and cooperation within frameworks such as the United Nations.

The initiative aligns with Morocco’s ongoing diplomatic efforts to promote dialogue and collaboration on global issues, including through platforms like the “Group of Friends of Multilateralism,” which was launched in Stockholm in February 2023 through cooperation between the embassies of Morocco and Guatemala.

That group, which now includes representatives from Argentina, Canada, Egypt, Indonesia, and Portugal, aims to support effective multilateralism based on respect for established rules and best practices within the UN system.

Morocco’s engagement in Stockholm reflects its broader foreign policy focus on fostering international partnerships and contributing to collective approaches to peace, development, and sustainability.

The Residence of Morocco in Stockholm has previously hosted similar events, including a lecture in October 2024 by former Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, who serves as co-chair of the UN’s High-Level Advisory Board on Effective Multilateralism.

That earlier event, attended by over 40 ambassadors accredited to Sweden, was part of the ongoing activities of the Group of Friends of Multilateralism and highlighted continued diplomatic engagement on global governance issues.

The April 2026 conference builds on these efforts, reinforcing Morocco’s role in facilitating dialogue on the future of international cooperation in a rapidly evolving world.
