During talks with Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita, Rodrigo Pacheco, President of the Brazilian Senate, reaffirmed his country’s “firm position on the Sahara issue.”
The Federative Republic of Brazil has praised Morocco’s serious and credible efforts to move forward towards the settlement of the dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, within the framework of the autonomy initiative presented by the Kingdom of Morocco in 2007.
In a statement to the press, Pajico said that the ties between Morocco and Brazil are “multiple” and that his visit to Rabat today comes in the context of strengthening this relationship and examining common issues.
The president of the Brazilian Senate added that Morocco is “an important partner for Brazil, as the two countries share common points and challenges, most notably climate issues.”
“Brazil would be happy for Morocco to attend a climate conference that his country will host next year,” he said, noting that Morocco and Brazil have common climate challenges and thus have a shared responsibility to overcome these challenges, noting that what also unites the two countries ”is the economic aspect.”
“Our economic relations are developing, especially in food exchanges, and we aspire to strengthen the presence of Brazilian products in Morocco,” he said, recalling the reopening of the direct air route between Casablanca and São Paulo.
After considering the visit fruitful, the two countries are counting on the direct airline to be “a stage to strengthen this rapprochement, especially to facilitate the cultural rapprochement between young people from both countries.”
November marks the 20th anniversary of King Mohammed VI’s November 2004 visit to Brazil, one of the kingdom’s top ten trading partners and a potential defense partner.
