Washington: Morocco`s experience in fighting violent extremism and promoting the values of moderate Islam is a model to follow not only for the Middle East and North Africa but also for the whole world, a leading US expert has said.
Pham was speaking to Morocco`s MAP news agency on the sidelines of the White House Summit on violent extremism being held February 18-20 in Washington.
In this respect, he shed light on Morocco`s reform of the religious sphere citing, in particular, the imams` training program in line with the tolerant religious and spiritual values of the kingdom.
The Moroccan strategy to combat religious extremism is "highly appreciated" across the African continent, he said, noting that Tunisia, Libya, Mali, Guinea, Côte d`Ivoire and Nigeria are willing to learn from the expertise of Morocco in terms of the training of imams in accordance with the values of moderate Islam.
He also highlighted the importance of the Moroccan-American partnership in fighting extremism, noting that the two countries had signed a major bilateral framework agreement on anti-terrorism assistance at the first US-Africa Summit held in Washington in August 2014.
