Madrid - Relations between Spain and Morocco have reached "unprecedented levels of solidarity and trust," as highlighted by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

In his address to assembled ambassadors in Madrid yesterday, Sánchez underscored the paramount importance of continually strengthening the alliance between the two neighboring nations. He specifically pointed to last year's high-level meeting in Rabat as a watershed moment that "opened a new chapter in bilateral cooperation." The gathering marked a historical milestone with the most extensive ministerial participation and the signing of pivotal agreements in the entire history of Spain-Morocco relations, according to the Prime Minister.

Reflecting on this positive momentum, Sánchez declared that the partnership "will always be a priority" for his administration. Notably, he emphasized the shared priorities of strengthening cross-Mediterranean dialogue and addressing the root causes of irregular migration. The leader also highlighted the mutual concern for stability and security in the Sahel, underscoring its importance for both Spain and the European Union.

Under Sánchez's leadership, it appears that a new era of expanded cooperation and trust is unfolding across the Strait of Gibraltar. Through open communication and collaborative efforts to tackle shared challenges, Spain and Morocco demonstrate a steadfast commitment to deepening their alliance for the mutual benefit of both countries and the broader region. With strong high-level commitment, their partnership seems poised to achieve even greater solidarity and effect positive change in the years ahead.
