US Congressmen commend Moroccan King’s leadership in promoting regional peace and stability

A visiting delegation of the US Congress commended, Monday, the leadership of King Mohammed VI in promoting regional peace and stability.

Morocco and the United States are working together to promote a more stable and secure region, US Congressman (R-Texas) August Pfluger told the press following talks in Rabat with Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita.

Morocco and the United States are linked by “extremely important” historical relations, he said, highlighting the Morocco-USA strategic partnership which benefits the national security of both countries.

The Congressman also welcomed the free trade agreement and cooperation between Morocco and the United States, particularly in security, including the most important multinational exercise on the African soil, African Lion. He added that talks with Bourita focused on several issues, notably collaboration in the fight against all forms of threats.

He extended his thanks to the Kingdom for its endeavors, as a regional and global leader, noting that the two countries work together to promote peace, prosperity, and security in the world.

For his part, US congressman (D-California) Lou Correa highlighted the excellent Moroccan-US partnership, and called to further consolidate cooperation between the two countries in various areas, particularly in the fight against cross-border crime and terrorist organizations.

Morocco is a strategic ally and a source of stability throughout the region, he underlined, adding that Morocco and the USA, which are linked by common interests and goals, work to promote regional security and prosperity.

The Kingdom of Morocco was the first country to recognize the independence of the United States of America, he recalled, and highly welcomed the centuries-old relations and historical ties between the two countries.

The delegation, made up of six deputies representing both the Republican and Democrat parties, was received earlier on Monday by the Head of Government, Aziz Akhannouch.

This visit aims to examine ways to strengthen strategic relations between Morocco and the United States.
