The Head of Government, Aziz Akhannouch, held talks today, Thursday, in Rabat, with the Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Somalia, Hamza Abdi Barre, during which various issues of common interest were reviewed, and mechanisms to enhance the deep-rooted relations between Morocco and Somalia were discussed, under the leadership of the leaders of the two countries, King Mohammed VI, and the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.
A statement from the Prime Minister's Office stated that Akhannouch, during this meeting, affirmed the King's keenness to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and fruitful cooperation between the two brotherly countries, highlighting Morocco's continued support for all that would enhance peace, stability, and the sovereignty of the Republic of Somalia over its territories. The same source explained that “The Head of Government praised Somalia's steadfast support for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom, especially since this brotherly country voted on October 31, 2025, as a non-permanent member of the Security Council, in favor of the historic UN resolution 2797, which established the autonomy initiative as a basic reference for resolving the fabricated conflict over the Moroccan Sahara.” For his part, Hamza Abdi Barre conveyed the greetings of the government and people of brotherly Somalia to His Majesty the King, stressing that the talks with the Head of Government focused on exploring ways to consolidate bilateral relations, and opening up prospects for economic and political cooperation between the two countries.
