There is “the certainty that all the signs are good” to normalize ties with Morocco, said Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday.

The Spanish Secretary of State for Foreign and Global Affairs, Ángeles Moreno Bau spoke optimistically of Madrid’s relationship with Rabat, during her appearance before the Foreign Affairs Committee of Congress.

“We are certain that all the signs are good, as we are building solid relationships. We work with discretion and with the conviction and we are in the line that we desire to be in,” said the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A diplomatic crisis between the two countries occurred to generate in the month of April, following the hospitalization of Spain to the leader of the Polisario Front, Brahim Gali, and the massive influx of emigrants in the city of Ceuta in May.

However, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs began foreseeing the possibility to restore normalcy with the Kingdom, after the King Mohamed VI expressed in his speech the desire to “inaugurate an unprecedented stage” based on “trust, transparency, mutual considerations and respect for commitments” with the neighboring country.

    Good relations are based on mutual trust…

    Therefore, Spain should know very well that the Morocco of yesterday is not the Morocco of today.
    Today, Morocco has become a regional power. Whoever wants good will find it in Morocco, and whoever wants evil will inevitably get into trouble.
    Spain must recognize the Moroccan Sahara if it wants to benefit from the Advantages of trade exchanges with Morocco within the framework of the win-win equation.
    Morocco will not accept the loss after the Corona pandemic.
    A word to the wise is enough..!.
