The 21st meeting of the Permanent Joint Spanish-Moroccan Migration Group was held in Madrid on Friday June 2, chaired by the Wali Director General of Migration and Border Surveillance, Khaled Zerouali, and the Secretary of State for Migration, Isabel Castro Fernandez.

On this occasion, the two parties worked on “a draft procedural plan” designed to guarantee the repatriation of unaccompanied Moroccan minors in Spain “with all legal guarantees and respect for international commitments”, reports EFE.

Rabat and Madrid “agreed to continue to favor an approach based on the best interests of the minor through prevention, protection and concerted return”. On this occasion, the Moroccan side recalled the instructions of King Mohamed VI on the repatriation of all “duly identified” minors.

During the meeting, Morocco and Spain emphasized the strengthening of coordination and information exchange mechanisms through the “renewal of joint working methods” in police cooperation centers, liaison offices and joint patrols, adds the same source.
