US Senate approves Duke Buchan III as ambassador to Morocco
The United States Senate confirmed the appointment of Duke Buchan III as the U.S. Ambassador to Morocco. This decision highlights the ongoing, strong partnership between the two nations, emphasizing strategic cooperation and sustainable dialogue on key regional issues, particularly the active Sahara conflict.
Buchan, an experienced diplomat with expertise in international affairs, assumes his role at a time when U.S.-Morocco relations have flourished significantly since 2020. Bilateral cooperation spans several areas, including security, defense, trade, and energy transition, all underpinned by a spirit of collaboration and mutual benefit. The two nations continue to engage in regular exchanges, based on a shared vision for regional balances and a mutual commitment to the stability of the Maghreb and Sahel regions. The Free Trade Agreement, which has been in effect for nearly two decades, has notably boosted trade flows, while military cooperation has led to joint exercises and technology transfers.
Buchan will succeed Puneet Talwar, whose tenure expanded discussions on economic and diplomatic issues. His mission will focus on deepening this trajectory in Rabat, leveraging recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara within four years, leading intergovernmental dialogues, supporting American companies seeking to expand in Morocco, and working on new joint projects.
