King Mohammed VI has offered his congratulations to President of Senegal Bassirou Diomaye Faye on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of his country’s independence.
In his cable of congratulations, the Moroccan Sovereign expressed his best wishes for continued progress and prosperity of the Senegalese people.
He also lauded the long-standing and exceptional bonds of brotherhood existing between the Moroccan and Senegalese peoples, and the constant renewal of cooperation ties between the two countries.
The relationship between Rabat and Dakar is based on strong religious, economic, and diplomatic ties since 1960. Morocco is a major investor in Senegal, particularly in banking, insurance, construction, and pharmaceutical sectors. Their bond also includes deep cultural and religious ties through the Tijaniyya Sufi Order.
For its part, Senegal is a key partner in the $25 billion Atlantic Gas Pipeline project aimed at transporting gas from Nigeria through 13 West African nations to Morocco and up to Europe.
