Chile’s ambassador to Morocco, Alex Geiger Soffia, welcomed on Wednesday the strengthening of relations between his country and the Kingdom over the past few years.
Speaking at a meeting with the Speaker of the House of Representatives (lower house), Habib El Malki, at the end of his diplomatic functions in the Kingdom, Mr. Geiger Soffia noted that the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries next year will mark a step to enhance cooperation between the two countries and raise it to higher levels.
“Morocco is a very important country for Chile,” he pointed out in this regard.
The diplomat also praised relations between the two legislative institutions, as well as the regular consultation and coordination between the parliaments of the two countries, recalling the visit of the President of the Chamber of Deputies of Chile to Morocco at the start of the year, which was marked by the signing of a Morocco-Chile Parliamentary Dialogue Agreement, the House of Representatives said in a press release.
For his part, Mr. Malki stressed the importance of parliamentary diplomacy in strengthening and consolidating relations of cooperation between the two countries, recalling that the Parliamentary Dialogue Agreement between the House of Representatives of the Kingdom of Morocco and the Chamber of Deputies of the Republic of Chile is the first of its kind that the Chamber has concluded with another legislative institution.
El Malki also stressed that the 60th anniversary of Moroccan-Chilean diplomatic relations will be an opportunity to further develop cooperation between the two legislative institutions and between the two countries in general.
The House of Representatives and the Chamber of Deputies of the Republic of Chile signed in February 2020 a parliamentary dialogue agreement, aimed at institutionalizing a parliamentary dialogue commission between the two institutions, promoting the exchange of expertise and experiences in the legislative field and strengthening parliamentary diplomacy.
