Morocco and Spain have established the “best climate of cooperation ever reached” in the history of their bilateral relations in the past three years, the Spanish Minister for the European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares on Tuesday in Madrid on Tuesday.

The joint declaration adopted in April 2022, after King Mohammed VI and the President of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez, established “the best climate of cooperation and collaboration never reached” in the history of relations of the two countries, underlined Mr. Albares before the Senate.

The head of Spanish diplomacy noted in this regard that trade with Morocco has reached a historic level, around 25 billion euros, thus confirming the solidity and complementarity of economic and commercial relations between the two kingdoms.

More than 15,000 Spanish companies regularly export to Morocco and 660 others are located on Moroccan territory, which testifies to the confidence and attractiveness of the Moroccan economic environment, he observed.

Referring to the 2030 World Cup, which Morocco will co -organize with Spain and Portugal, Mr. Albares indicated that this planetary event constitutes a historic opportunity to further strengthen the links of friendship and strategic partnership between Rabat and Madrid.

On the other hand, the Minister praised effective cooperation with Morocco in the migratory field, noting that the management of irregular migration would be “unmanageable” without the support and commitment of the Kingdom of Morocco.
