RABAT - Moroccan and Finnish officials affirmed their commitment to bolstering cooperation during a meeting in Rabat on Thursday. Enaam Mayara, the Speaker of the House of Councilors, extended a warm welcome to Marjaana Sall, the Finnish Ambassador to Morocco, for discussions aimed at strengthening the political, economic, and cultural bonds between the two nations.

Mayara underscored Morocco's strong desire to fortify its ties with Finland across various sectors, particularly in parliamentary exchange and economic collaboration. He also emphasized the significance of cooperation in addressing regional and international security challenges.

Touching upon the Moroccan Sahara issue, Mayara advocated for Morocco's autonomy plan as a practical and definitive resolution to the dispute. He strongly denounced violations against populations detained in the Tindouf camps in southern Algeria.

Sall commended the exceptional nature of Moroccan-Finnish relations and highlighted the pivotal role of parliamentary cooperation in further solidifying ties, especially in the economic realm. She praised Morocco's crucial position in Africa, citing King Mohammed VI’s vision of the country as a bridge connecting Europe, Africa, and the Americas.

Both officials called for increased parliamentary dialogue and reciprocal visits to explore new opportunities in areas such as renewable energy, water management, and the green economy. They mutually agreed to elevate the bilateral relationship to new heights through transparent communication and collaborative efforts.
