Morocco is a credible partner to the European Union (EU) in the management of migration issues, said Tuesday in Rabat, European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighborhood, Oliver Varhelyi.
“Morocco is a credible partner to the EU in dealing with this issue, which explains the importance of helping the EU in its efforts to better manage this issue that can create not only security problems but also economic ones,” Varhelyi said at a joint press briefing with Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, at the end of their talks in Rabat.
Managing the migration issue “is a common task that we must address together. Here again, Morocco is in the lead, it is a credible and sensitive partner to this problem,” he stated, saying that he was “very grateful” for Morocco’s efforts in this area.
Varhelyi is paying a visit to Morocco along with the European Commissioner for Home Affairs, Ylva Johansson. On this occasion, the European commissioners held talks with several Moroccan officials.
The European Commissioner for Home Affairs will have the opportunity to visit several EU-funded projects in the area of manpower migration and integration of migrants.
Johansson will also visit the Mohammed VI Training Institute for Imams and conduct a technical visit on Morocco’s border control activities in Tangier.
