Italian Foreign Minister, Luigi Di Maio said that “Morocco is a strategic partner for Italy and a key interlocutor on regional issues, including the Libyan conflict.”
In a tweet following a telephone conversation he had on Friday with Moroccan FM, Di Maio wrote that Italy and Morocco “are committed to strengthening cooperation in all areas.”
Relations between both countries are positive, as the partners have signed major diplomatic agreements, to address common challenges.
Despite the global pandemic, data suggest that trade in 2019 between the two countries increased by 4.6%.
During the last 25 years, Italy’s exports to Morocco have increased at an annualized rate of 4.63%, from $659M in 1995 to $2.04B in 2020, according to a report issued by the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC).
Senior foreign and Moroccan diplomats previously emphasized Morocco’s significant bilateral relations with Italy, as they have been enjoying dense bilateral relations since 1991.
“Morocco and Italy have relations as old as their very existence as States (…) they are excellent relations: dense political dialogue, sustained security cooperation, substantial economic exchanges and singular human proximity,” Bourita said in a previous interview with Italian news agency Nova.
