The UK is committed to strengthening economic relations with Morocco, a “rising partner in trade and investment,” the Foreign Office (FCDO) said following Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s visit to Rabat.

The trip resulted in several new agreements aimed at expanding bilateral cooperation across key sectors.

Annual UK-Morocco trade already exceeds £4 billion, and new deals target water management, port infrastructure, smart logistics, and green technology. A flagship £200 million cooperation deal will promote British expertise in sustainable water systems and modern port development.

The UK also pledged support for sports infrastructure ahead of Morocco’s co-hosting of the 2030 FIFA World Cup. On security, both sides committed to closer cooperation on migration, counterterrorism, and climate resilience.

Lammy’s visit is part of the UK’s broader strategy to re-energize relations with African countries through pragmatic, mutually respectful partnerships rooted in shared growth, stability, and tackling the root causes of irregular migration.
