King Mohammed VI reportedly ordered to organize preparations in order to receive the president of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez in the coming weeks.
This meeting aims to resume bilateral relations, with Sánchez having recommended acting in a “discreet way” in order to resolve the diplomatic crisis that has opened up since the end of April with Morocco, according to El Español.
The spat began over Spain receiving Polisario leader Brahim Ghali for medical care, whereby Spanish authorities found out after investigations that Ghali entered Logroño hospital with a fake identity, by changing his identity to Mohamed Benbatouche.
King Mohammed VI said in his last royal speech that he is optimistic over Morocco’s upcoming cooperation with the Pedro Sanchez Spanish government to overcome “the unprecedented crisis, which shook mutual trust and raised many questions as to their future.”
“In addition to the traditional immutable values on which these relations are based, we are keen, today, to strengthen them, bearing in mind the need for a common understanding of the two nations’ interests,” he said
Most recently, Morocco was described as a “reliable and solid” partner of the European Union (EU) in terms of the management of migratory flows, according to the European border control agency (Frontex).
The migratory flow of the western Mediterranean “is under control”, said Frontex Executive Director, Fabrice Leggeri to MAP, noting that Morocco is “very active” in its collaboration with Frontex and the EU as well as with Spain.
