Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska lauded the “excellent coordination” between Spain and Morocco in the Marhaba 2024 operation, designed to welcome Moroccans residing abroad. Speaking on Monday during his visit to the port of Algeciras, Grande-Marlaska highlighted the significant collaboration and resource mobilization by both nations to ensure the operation’s success.

Grande-Marlaska emphasized that Morocco and Spain have established a robust system and deployed all necessary human resources to guarantee the smooth running of this large-scale operation. “All the teams involved are doing an extraordinary job to ensure that this operation continues to be a success,” the minister remarked.

The operation is expected to handle record numbers of passengers and vehicles this year. Grande-Marlaska expressed confidence that the strong coordination between Moroccan and Spanish authorities would enable efficient management of these unprecedented volumes.

Launched under the Presidency of HM King Mohammed VI, the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity initiated the 24th edition of the Marhaba operation on June 5, which will continue until September 15. This initiative aims to facilitate the arrival and return of Moroccans residing abroad.

The Foundation has implemented a comprehensive reception system, which is simultaneously activated in Morocco, France, Spain, and Italy. This system is designed to provide support and assistance to community members throughout their journey, integrating various measures and arrangements set by the involved stakeholders to ensure the operation’s overall success.
