A delegation of US senators is visiting Morocco, where it met with Moroccan officials on Tuesday, headed by Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita.
This is the second time that a delegation from the US Congress has visited the Kingdom within one month, which reflects the strength of relations between Washington and Rabat.
“We are on this visit to get to know the country and its qualifications,” said Adriano Espaillat, representative of the New York district in the US Congress, noting that “the delegation supports Morocco’s signing of the Abraham Accords.”
In a speech at the headquarters of the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the American official added: “We congratulate Morocco on signing the Abraham Accords, with Israel and America, in order to spread peace in the Middle East region.”
“We are investing in these relations in the present and the future, and we have also examined the strength of this strong and solid partnership, and we have noticed the extent of development that Morocco is witnessing and the integration of women in senior positions, because when we give roles to women, we contribute to the development of society and the state.”
The same spokesman stressed that “Morocco is developing at the level of infrastructure and youth integration.”
For her part, Sylvia Garcia, from Texas, said in her speech delivered at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rabat: “For the first time I visit Morocco, I admire this country and I was surprised by the great development it is witnessing,” noting that she “admires Moroccan culture and its historical extension.”
“The Moroccan people are a hospitable people, and we will work to develop our relationship with Morocco and the Moroccan government in the fields of economy, security, and military cooperation,” noting that “there is a strong and solid partnership with Morocco.”
“We value the partnership with Morocco, especially in the economy, security and military field,” said Salud Carbajal, member of the US Congress, adding that “America supports all the reforms undertaken by the Kingdom.”
He pledged that he would work from his position to protect the strategic partnership between Morocco and America, considering that “America shares the same values with Morocco.”
The middle of last month, a delegation of senators concluded a visit to the Kingdom, during which they met with a number of officials, led by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The talks that brought together the American delegation with the prime minister focused on “emphasizing the exceptional relations between Morocco and the United States, based on a strong, ambitious and diverse partnership, and common constants, history and values,” according to a statement by the Moroccan government presidency.
