Morocco and Senegal will hold the 15th session of their high joint partnership commission in Rabat on Jan. 26 and 27 after a phone call between Moroccan prime minister Aziz Akhannouch and his Senegalese counterpart Ousmane Sonko, Moroccan media reported, as both sides moved to contain online tensions after the AFCON final.
A government statement said the meeting would go ahead as planned to strengthen bilateral cooperation.
Hespress said officials and a royal cabinet statement helped restore what it called the friendly atmosphere between the two countries after heated exchanges on social media linked to the final.
International relations analysts quoted by the outlet said the match should remain a sporting matter and warned against attempts to politicise it, pointing to the commission meeting as a signal that ties remain stable.
