The Israeli Foreign Minister, Yair Lapid announced that he will make his first visit to Morocco on August 11 and 12 to officially open up the Israeli diplomatic mission in Morocco.
The trip will be the first for an Israeli foreign minister after the two countries agreed to normalize ties, part of the Abraham accord deals signed with three more Arab countries.
The announcement came a few days after the launch of the first commercial flight between Morocco and Israel and seven months after the resumption of relations between Rabat and Tel Aviv.
Lapid will hold talks with Moroccan officials aimed at speeding up agreements signed between both countries.
“After my trip to Morocco, Minister Bourita will come visit Israel to open missions here,” he told reporters last week.
His invitation arrived with Foreign Ministry Director-General Alon Ushpiz three weeks ago when he handed a written invitation to Bourita to visit Israel.
Lapid said the invitation was “a top priority” for Israel, which seeks to push up cooperation in the fields of trade, technology, culture and tourism with Morocco.
