Spain foreign minister Jose Manuel Albares said in Madrid that relations with Morocco are at their strongest point on record, following talks with Moroccan foreign minister Nasser Bourita on Thursday.

According to a statement from Spain foreign ministry, the meeting was held on the sidelines of the 13th Morocco Spain High Level Meeting and focused on implementing agreements signed by both governments.

The accords cover cooperation between diplomatic schools, the mobility of young diplomats and coordination on what Spain describes as feminist foreign policy.

Both ministers reiterated their commitment to the roadmap adopted in 2022 and agreed to broaden cooperation across Africa.

They also discussed preparations for the 2030 World Cup, which Morocco and Spain will co host with Portugal.

Spain remains Morocco top trading partner. Morocco was Spain third export destination in 2024 with trade worth 12.9 billion euros. Morocco also ranked as Spain fourth largest supplier outside the European Union, exporting goods valued at 9.8 billion euros.
