During the Cold War, Morocco supported the ideas of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) even though it wasn’t a member. Around 1961, a group of countries called the Non-Aligned Movement was created. They wanted to stay separate from the US and the USSR during the height of the Cold War. These countries aimed to support peace, independence, and economic growth without joining any significant power bloc.
Morocco wasn’t one of the original members of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), but it agreed with many of its goals, especially those related to freedom and fighting imperialism. Morocco helped with the process of liberation in Asia and Africa and fought hard for the rights of countries that had just become independent. Morocco was also an observer at several NAM summits and agreed with the movement’s views, especially regarding African unity.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Morocco’s foreign policy aimed to improve ties with both Western and African countries. Even though Morocco isn’t officially part of the NAM, it takes the same stand on problems like apartheid and colonialism as the Non-Aligned countries when it comes to supporting the independence movements in Africa. Even though Morocco wasn’t a member of the NAM, its involvement in African and Arab groups showed it was still committed to these beliefs.
