Speaker of Egypt’s Senate Abdel-Wahab Abdel-Razek has called for enhancing further cooperation ties with Morocco through support measures propping up partnership between the two countries.

He made the remarks following his meeting Tuesday in Rabat with Moroccan foreign minister Nasser Bourita.

Speaker of the Egyptian Senate is visiting Morocco to take part in the 11th Congress of the Association of Senates, Shura and Equivalent Councils in Africa and the Arab World to open doors Thursday at the House of Advisors (Morocco’s Parliament Upper House).
