The Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Mr. Nasser Bourita, held talks, on November 24, 2022 in Barcelona, with his Spanish counterpart, Mr. Jos\u00e9 Manuel Albares, within the framework of the 7th Regional Forum of the Union for the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

During a joint press conference, Mr. Nasser Bourita and Mr. Jos\u00e9 Manuel Albares affirmed that Morocco and Spain are completely satisfied with the implementation of the bilateral roadmap, set up last April, on the occasion of the visit to Morocco of the President of the Spanish government, Mr. Pedro Sanchez, at the invitation of HM King Mohammed VI.<\/p>\n

Mr. Bourita said: \u2018\u2019today, we discussed the implementation of the bilateral roadmap \u2026 and we expressed our complete satisfaction with the implementation of all its provisions and all commitments\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, Mr. Bourita said that this new meeting, the third in less than a week, reflects \u201cthe very close coordination and strong relationship that our two countries share\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

He said that the meeting was held in conjunction with the 7th Regional Forum for the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM). It was also an opportunity for review of progress in the implementation and to discuss ways to speed up its implementation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in a new phase of our relationship and we are very pleased to continue to work in all sectors: economic cooperation, political dialogue, fight against illegal immigration, terrorism, regional security, as well as ways to develop the cultural dimension and security cooperation,\u201d said the Minister.<\/p>\n

In this context, he noted that the next High Level Meeting \u201cwill provide an opportunity to see that we have implemented all the elements of the roadmap, but also to agree on new and more ambitious elements of our bilateral relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to bilateral cooperation on migration, Bourita stressed that the two countries have \u201cset an example of fruitful cooperation\u201d in the fight against illegal migration.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur cooperation is the only success story of cooperation in the fight against illegal migration in the Mediterranean region,\u201d said the minister, assuring that Rabat and Madrid conduct this cooperation \u201cas two responsible countries, taking into account a firm approach to migration, by developing legal migration, protecting migrants and fighting against networks of smugglers.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Minister, \u201cthis cooperation has brought much to the security of Morocco and Spain, but also to the whole region,\u201d adding that \u201cthis model must be strengthened and promoted\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the global level, there is a consensus that what Morocco and Spain are doing, in a cooperative and constructive way, is an example to follow,\u201d said Bourita.<\/p>\n

For his part, Mr. Albares said: \u201cWe are very satisfied with this new stage and this dynamic that marks the bilateral relations, as well as the achievement of the roadmap\u2019\u201d, established on the occasion of the visit of the President of the Spanish government, Mr. Pedro Sanchez, to Morocco, at the invitation of HM King Mohammed VI.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll working groups meet on a permanent basis and these meetings are bearing fruit,\u201d said the top Spanish diplomat, adding that illegal immigration from Africa has been reduced by 20% and bilateral trade has increased by 30%, Spanish exports reaching 7 billion euros since the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n

This meeting, the seventh between the two ministers, was an opportunity to \u201ccontinue to advance the Spanish-Moroccan roadmap, which is being implemented point by point,\u201d said Albares, noting that both countries continue to cross agendas, so that the High Level Meeting can be held as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
