The Spanish press has widely commended Pedro Sanchez’s visit to Rabat on Thursday, with comments ranging from hailing the President’s ability to end the diplomatic crisis between both Kingdoms to others pointing to the achievements so far reached in the last 24 hours.
Spanish newspaper El Pais notes that the visit of the head of the Spanish government in Morocco “has allowed implementing the reconciliation between the two neighbors after 10 months of diplomatic crisis.”
“Spain and Morocco open a new phase of detente to get out of the crisis,” adds La Vanguardia, explaining that “the beginning of a new relationship between Spain and Morocco puts an end to the long months of diplomatic crisis and political tension between the two neighbors.”
Pedro Sanchez trip to Morocco alongside his Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jose Manuel Albares, “marks the start of a new phase between the two countries,” wrote La Razon.
“The objective of the visit of Sanchez has been achieved, namely, the launch of the roadmap that consolidates the new relationship, an ambitious roadmap, worthy of two neighboring countries and strategic partners,” says the newspaper.
News outlet NiuDiario highlighted Sanchez’ positive, optimistic vocabulary during his visit, quoting the president saying that “today is a great day, a historic moment.”
The head of the Spanish executive told the press that “Spain and Morocco have established a spirit of genuine cooperation, starting a new stage in the relationship between Spain and Morocco.”
Following King Mohammed VI’s invitation, Sanchez arrived in Rabat and immediately doubled down on Spain’s new position vis-a-vis the Western Sahara, reiterating the Iberian support for Morocco’s autonomy plan proposal.
In addition, the visit was followed by the announcement of the land and maritime borders between both countries. Shortly after, Spain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs published the complete, unsevered map of Morocco on its website.
