The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies approved the agreement for cooperation with Morocco in the field of defense on Wednesday.
The Brazilian House of Representatives announced on its website, that the agreement concerns various fields, such as “the exchange of visits by delegations of the two countries, the exchange of superintendents and students of military educational institutions, as well as participation in theoretical and practical courses, cultural and sports events, humanitarian assistance and military training.”
Military expert Abd Rahman Makkaoui said that the move reflects “the importance and great success of Moroccan diplomacy.”
He told Hespress AR that since the visit of the Moroccan Foreign Minister last June to the Federative Republic of Brazil, “several files of partnership and cooperation have been opened between the largest country in Latin America and the Kingdom in many fields, both economic and cultural, not to mention the security defense field.”
The military expert explained that “the agreement for cooperation between Brazil and Morocco in the field of defense opens the door to several cooperation projects between the Royal Moroccan Army and the Brazilian Army,”
He notes that this is specifically with regard to the exchange of experiences and training in military academies, stressing with interest Brazil’s defense industries.
Makkaoui also said that “Brazil is one of the countries that have military industrial vehicles and advanced technologies.”
The success of Moroccan diplomacy with the largest regional powers in Latin America will have repercussions on the level of Latin America as well as Africa, especially since Brazil has relations in the military industry with South Africa, which may help Moroccan-South African relations, explains Makkaoui.
The text was previously approved on December 1, 2021, by the House Foreign Relations and National Defense Committee.
During Bourita’s visit, the two countries signed seven agreements covering various areas, from investment to defense, passing through mutual legal assistance of double taxation on sea and air transport.
Representative Rubens Pereira Silva Jr. wrote on his Twitter account that the decree, which ratifies the cooperation agreement between Brazil and Morocco in the field of defense, and emphasizes research and development, logistical support and acquisition of products and services, has been adopted.
