Hammouchi promotes a new vision of shared international security cooperation at the Moscow international forum

From May 27 to 29, 2025, Abdellatif Hammouchi, Director General of Morocco’s National Security and Territorial Surveillance (DGSN-DGST), took active part in the 13th International Meeting of High-Level Security Officials in Moscow, where delegations from over one hundred countries gathered to discuss the future of global security.

During the event, Hammouchi reaffirmed Morocco’s central role as a strategic partner in the fight against organized crime, terrorism, and cyber threats. The Moroccan official advocated for a security architecture based on fairness, mutual trust, and the inclusion of all states, especially those from the Global South.

In his address, he emphasized that “effective security can only be achieved through strong and shared cooperation,” highlighting the importance of exchanging sensitive information swiftly, securely, and with full respect for national sovereignty. This position was well received by attendees, who praised Morocco’s expertise in threat prevention and management.

Hammouchi also held bilateral meetings with senior officials from Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) and other agencies, strengthening key alliances to enhance cooperation mechanisms against common threats. These meetings reflect the maturity of Morocco’s approach, which blends operational firmness with smart diplomacy.

Morocco’s reputation as a security power has grown stronger in recent years, marked by significant progress in service modernization, risk anticipation, and professionalization of its security forces. Statistics support this progress, from key arrests to the dismantling of criminal networks and the neutralization of emerging threats.

Hammouchi’s final message was clear: the Moroccan model not only works, but can also serve as a source of inspiration for a new, inclusive, and sustainable global security paradigm. Morocco is no longer a mere observer, but an active and reliable player in safeguarding international stability.
