Talks between Morocco and US military officials on Monday are pushing for the effective implementation of a US-Moroccan “roadmap for defense cooperation,” signed in 2020 and aimed to reinforce Morocco’s military prowess.
Discussions were held between US Army General, James C. McConville and Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of the National Defense Administration Abdeltif Loudiyi in his Rabat office.
“The meeting with our long-standing and highly competent partners in Morocco enabled us to discuss ways to further strengthen cooperation on common priorities such as training, professional military schools and the development of non-commissioned officers,” said McConville.
The two military officials talked over ways to develop the axes of military cooperation, with a focus on training, joint exercises between the Royal Army Forces and the American Army Forces and efforts to face regional threats.
Morocco and the US partake in 100 military engagements yearly, the biggest of which is the African Lion, the largest annual U.S. military exercise. On its latest edition, more than 7,000 personnel from nine countries and NATO partook in the exercise some 50km from the Algerian town of Tindouf, where the Polisario Front is based.
