US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, is expected in Morocco next May to chair the International Coalition against ISIS meeting, announced Tuesday by the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, during the joint press briefing with the US Under Secretary, Wendy Sherman.

On the occasion of the meeting in Rabat with US Deputy Secretary of State, Wendy Sherman on March 8, Nasser Bourita announced a series of meetings scheduled with US officials in the coming months.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s upcoming visit will see him meet representatives from France, Australia, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Turkey, and Spain.

Created in 2014 with the objective of putting an end to the terrorist project of Daech, the Global Coalition against ISIS currently brings together more than 80 countries and international organizations.

Its actions consist of military operations and “counter-propaganda,” the fight against terrorist financing and foreign terrorist fighters, as well as assistance in stabilizing and rebuilding liberated territories.

Blinken is also expected to attend the African American Economic Forum meeting in July in Marrakech.

While in the press conference with Sherman, Bourita praised Morocco and the US’ personal commitment to the rapprochement between both countries, and the promotion of bilateral cooperation, which translates to numerous visits and joint participation in international events.
