Spain describes as fruitful its Foreign Minister’s visit to Morocco

Spain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has described Spanish top diplomat José Manuel Albares’ visit to Morocco on Wednesday and Thursday as “fruitful.”

“Two fruitful days of visit to Morocco by Minister Albares,” wrote the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday in a message posted on its X account, specifying that Madrid and Rabat reaffirmed their “strong ties of friendship, neighborliness, and cooperation” on this occasion.

The message recalled that the Spanish Foreign Minister, during this first bilateral trip to a foreign country since the beginning of the new legislature, was received by Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch, before holding talks with his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita.

The Spanish Foreign Minister also had a meeting with Moroccan and Spanish economic actors and visited the Colegio Español de Rabat .

Albares’ visit to Morocco is part of the strengthening of the constantly evolving strategic partnership between Morocco and Spain. It reinforces the scope of friendship ties and the serenity and strength of the strategic relations between the two countries.

Moroccan-Spanish relations continue to evolve and be enriched, thanks to the strong impetus given by King Mohammed VI during his meeting with the Spanish Government President Pedro Sánchez, in Rabat on April 7, 2022.
