President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, is expected to arrive in Morocco next week at the invitation of King Mohamed VI , in a visit that is set to reinvigorate relations between the traditional partners.

King Mohammed VI will meet with the Spanish Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs for Iftar, while foreign ministers of the two countries agreed to meet together separately, according to diplomatic sources who spoke to Spanish media.

King Mohammed VI invited President of the Spanish Government Pedro Sánchez to visit Morocco during a phone conversation the two held Thursday.

The King reiterated his “appreciation for the content of the message sent to Him on March 14 by the President of the Spanish Government,” according to a statement by the Royal Palace.

“The partnership between the two countries is now entering a new stage, based on mutual respect, reciprocal trust, permanent consultation, and frank and loyal cooperation.”

Earlier this month, a statement from the Moroccan Royal Cabinet announced that Spain stands behind Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara, virtually ending the near year-long diplomatic crisis between the two countries.

In a message addressed to the Moroccan Head of State King Mohammed VI, the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, stressed that he “recognizes the importance of the Sahara issue for Morocco.”

As such, “Spain considers the Moroccan autonomy initiative, presented in 2007, as the most serious, realistic and credible basis for resolving the dispute.”
