Spain and Morocco are "Neighboring Countries which Share Many Common Interests" (Spanish minister)

Spain’s first vice-president, Carmen Calvo, has indicated that her country and Morocco share “many common interests”.

“The relations that the government maintains with Morocco are excellent, fluid, constant and continuous in all areas where the two countries have many common interests,” said Carmen Calvo in statements to the press.

The senior Spanish official noted that “the two neighboring countries” share common interests bilaterally, but also within the framework of the European Union.

On the postponement of the High Level Meeting between Spain and Morocco to next February because of the epidemiological situation, Carmen Calvo stressed the importance of this meeting to move forward in the development of bilateral relations.

“There are frankly good relations with Morocco and permanent contact between members of the governments of the two countries,” she noted.

The High Level Meeting between Morocco and Spain constitutes a crucial meeting for the development of the deep and dense relations of friendship and cooperation existing between two strategic partners, which are Morocco and Spain, a joint press release had underlined on Thursday.

Morocco and Spain noted that the current epidemiological situation prevents the High Level Meeting from being held on the scheduled date with the appropriate health security guarantees for the two delegations, the statement had added.

For this reason, the two countries have agreed to postpone, until February 2021, the holding of the High Level Meeting in Morocco, it had said.
