Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid is set be in Morocco on August 11 on the first official diplomatic visit since relations resumed between the two countries last year.
Great preparations are underway to receive Yair Lapid, the first Israeli foreign minister to officially visit Morocco.
This will be the first visit by a senior Israeli diplomat since the normalization of relations between the two countries last December.
The visit is scheduled to take place on August 11 and 12, including a meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Nasser Bourita Israeli Foreign Minister.
Lapid will be accompanied on his visit to Morocco by a high level economic delegation, looking forward to strengthening its partnerships with the Moroccan productive sectors, to enhance trade relations between the two countries.
Israeli Minister Yair Lapid had announced that he would make a ’historic’ visit to Morocco once commercial flights between the two countries began, which took place on July 25, 2021 .
Before this visit ,the Director General of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alon Ushpiz visited Morocco, four weeks ago, and handed Bourita a written invitation from Lapid.
Lapid’s visit to Morocco comes a few days after the start of the first direct commercial flight between Israel and Morocco.
A week ago, the first direct flight between Israel and Morocco landed in Marrakesh, and carried one hundred Israeli tourists ,in a move aimed at attracting 50,000 Israeli tourists to Morocco by the end of the year. It should be noted that Morocco had announced seven months ago, the restoration of diplomatic relations with Israel, after twenty years of freezing.
