Spanish foreign minister José Manuel Albares requested a virtual meeting with his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita, scheduled for Wednesday, according to Spanish news agency EFE.
The meeting comes as a way to resume dialogue between Rabat and Madrid, following the diplomatic rift triggered in May between the two countries.
Albares wishes to relaunch relations between Morocco and Spain, the same source adds, on the foundation of “mutual respect.”
The meeting also aims to “rebuild a solid relationship,” between the two countries, reiterating King Mohammed VI’s calls in his August 20 speech to begin a new “unprecedented” step with Spain, built on “confidence, transparency, and mutual respect.”
Tensions between Morocco and Spain heightened when Polisario leader Brahim Ghali was secretly admitted to a hospital for Covid-19 complications using a fake passport.
Morocco condemned Spain’s reception of Ghali, recalling the Moroccan ambassador to Spain and accusing the Polisario head of falsification of documents and terrorism.
