Morocco: the "best" gateway to Africa
The Kingdom of Morocco is regarded as the "best" entry point to Africa, as highlighted by the Ambassador of El Salvador to Rabat, Ignacio de Cossío, during a ceremony in Tangier on Friday evening.
Speaking at the opening of the "El Salvador: Beauty in Colors" exhibition, de Cossío emphasized that choosing Morocco as the location for the only El Salvadorian diplomatic representation in Africa was a "strategic and fully justified" decision aligned with President Nayib Bukele's vision.
"We made no mistake in connecting with Africa through Morocco. There is no better country and no better entry point to the African continent than Morocco, and for that, I express my gratitude to His Majesty King Mohammed VI," said the Ambassador.
Highlighting the historical and cultural significance of the city of Tangier, de Cossío described it as a "radiant international city," one that has witnessed the passage of "Greek sailors, Romans, Byzantine warriors, Visigoths, Vandals, and Phoenicians."
The exhibition, organized by the Embassy of El Salvador in collaboration with the Cervantes Institute in Tangier, showcases about twenty works by renowned Salvadoran artists, including Madger Linares, Renacho Melgar, and Carlos Ovidio Rosales. It runs until April 19, offering the public a chance to explore creations blending urban graffiti, traditional portraits, and vibrant landscapes, providing a poetic and powerful glimpse into Salvadoran identity and memory.
