Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, praised what he called an “exceptional moment” in Spanish-Moroccan relations, highlighting Morocco’s support during Spain’s April 28 power outage.
Addressing Spain’s parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee, Albares expressed gratitude to Morocco and France for their swift aid in restarting Spain’s power stations, underscoring the strength of their partnership.
He recalled Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita’s recent visit to Madrid, during which Bourita described bilateral ties as “at their best in history.”
Albares noted this shift stems from Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s message to King Mohammed VI recognizing Morocco’s autonomy plan as the “most serious, credible, and realistic” solution for the Sahara conflict.
Albares highlighted record trade of €23 billion and the reopening of Melilla’s customs post,closed by Morocco in 2018, and the launch of a new one in Ceuta.
He emphasized that these moves, fully activated in February 2025, are part of broader efforts to normalize border flows and strengthen cooperation on migration and anti-smuggling.
