In a testament to the enduring partnership between Morocco and the UAE, the strengthening of bilateral relations was lauded as a catalyst for progress across various fields.
This outlook was shared by Abdeljalil Lahjomri, Permanent Secretary of the Academy of the Kingdom of Morocco, during the opening of a scientific symposium on Wednesday in Rabat.
The symposium was organized by the Academy in collaboration with the UAE Embassy in Morocco. Lahjomri underscored the significance of the event, marking the 52nd anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two nations.
He highlighted the fraternal relationship built on mutual respect and cooperation, deeply rooted in shared religious and cultural values.
Lahjomri pointed out that this scientific gathering provided a platform to explore avenues for fruitful cooperation and coordination between researchers focused on Moroccan-Emirati relations.
He noted the close cooperation, continuous exchange of experiences, and joint efforts driven by the wise policies and clear positions of both countries.
These efforts aim to address regional and global challenges, promote peace, combat extremism and terrorism, and foster dialogue between cultures and civilizations.
Emphasizing the historical depth of the bilateral relationship, Lahjomri noted that Moroccan-Emirati cooperation spans political, cultural, and economic domains.
He stressed that this cooperation is characterized by solidarity, cohesion, economic partnership, and cultural exchange.
He also highlighted the consistent development of economic ties between Morocco and the UAE, particularly after the signing of a declaration for an “innovative, renewed, and rooted partnership” during King Mohammed VI’s visit to the UAE in December 2023.
This declaration aims to boost trade and investments in the coming years, focusing on sectors such as commerce, industry, energy, and logistics.
Sheikh Abdallah bin Bayyah, President of the Emirati Fatwa Council and head of the Abu Dhabi Forum for Peace, emphasized that the relationship between the UAE and Morocco is founded on deeply rooted and authentic values.
In his address, he highlighted the value of wisdom as a cornerstone for stability, prosperity, tolerance, and coexistence. Bin Bayyah noted that this value is reflected in both countries through balanced decisions and policies and a firm commitment to unity.
He further highlighted the dedication of both nations to promoting tolerance and coexistence, positioning Morocco and the UAE as havens of diversity and peaceful coexistence among people of different nationalities, religions, cultures, and ethnicities.
UAE Ambassador to Morocco, Al-Asri Saeed Ahmed Al Dhaheri, echoed these sentiments, recalling the historical roots of the bilateral relationship. He noted that Morocco was among the first countries to support the creation of the UAE, paving the way for strong cooperation in strategic and mutual interest fields.
Ambassador Al Dhaheri emphasized that the cooperation between Morocco and the UAE extends beyond bilateral relations to address various issues affecting the Arab and Muslim world.
He highlighted the positive evolution of economic and commercial ties, with the ambition to elevate them to an advanced economic partnership. This partnership aims to leverage the complementary strengths of the Emirati and Moroccan economies to benefit both nations.
