The president added that this shared vision has made it possible to set up an exemplary cooperation with Moroccan school sport bodies.

“Morocco offers a high quality of organization in terms of sports infrastructures, accommodation and logistics”, Petrynka emphasized, highlighting that these technical aspects had been carried out under the best possible conditions.

“This grandiose opening ceremony is a cornerstone that has been added to the ISF edifice”, the official stressed, noting that the organization of this event “has brought to the fore committed Moroccan youth, bearers of the values of peace, interculturality and living together”.
