Morocco’s security chief Abdellatif Hammouchi began a working visit to the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, accompanied by a high-level delegation, as part of efforts to bolster security partnerships and expand bilateral cooperation in policing and intelligence.

The General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST) said Hammouchi met with Talal Rashid Al-Zaabi, head of the UAE’s State Security Service, along with senior Emirati security officials. The talks focused on areas of shared concern and ways to deepen collaboration.

Discussions centered on pressing international and regional challenges, including terrorism and violent extremism, particularly in conflict zones such as Africa’s Sahel region.

The two sides also explored avenues to strengthen operational cooperation against terrorism and transnational organized crime, including joint operations, intelligence sharing, and broader exchanges of expertise. Officials emphasized the importance of proactive coordination to counter security threats facing both countries.
