    Spain and Morocco are committed to deepening cooperation in the field of civil protection, which holds great potential for the implementation of joint actions, especially in risk prevention, human resources training and the exchange of knowledge and experience.

    In addition, taking into account the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, both countries are committed to implementing modern border control management. They reiterate their commitment to continue to move forward in an orderly manner towards full standardization of the movement of people and goods, including appropriate customs and people control arrangements at land and sea.

    Taking into account the conclusions of the pilot test of January 27, the two parties will continue this series of tests on the agreed schedule to overcome any constraints.

    Also, they have committed to continue to progress in the exchange of experiences and best practices in road safety policies and to organize an annual meeting on road safety, alternating in each country.

  • Politics : Morocco, Spain Express Commitment to Perpetuate Excellent Relations That Have Always Linked Them (Joint Statement)

    In this sense, the two countries place their cooperation within the framework of the Treaty of Friendship, Good Neighborliness, Cooperation and Enhanced Political Dialogue, resulting from the Joint Statement of April 7, 2022, based on the principles of transparency, permanent dialogue, mutual respect and implementation of commitments and agreements signed by both parties, in which issues of common interest are addressed in a spirit of trust, far from unilateral actions or faits accomplis.

    In a joint statement issued at the end of the 12th session of the Moroccan-Spanish High Level Meeting, held under the joint chairmanship of the Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch and the President of the Spanish Government Pedro Sanchez, the two parties emphasize that this meeting was an opportunity to review the objectives of the roadmap and the satisfactory results achieved, on the one hand, and to renew the determination of both countries to act, jointly, for the continuation of this new dynamic on the other hand, which is necessary for the welfare of both countries and the prosperity of the entire region.

    The two parties, in this regard, welcomed the work done in all working groups, all met and functional, and especially the efforts made and the involvement shown, on both sides, to achieve the objectives set in the said roadmap, inviting the continuation of discussions in the framework of these groups.

  • Politics : Morocco, Spain Satisfied with New Dynamics of Bilateral Relations

    Speaking at a joint press briefing at the end of the 12th session of the Moroccan-Spanish High Level Meeting which they co-chaired, Akhannouch and Sanchez stressed that the agreements reached, covering several areas, reflect this renewed momentum, initiated last April following the visit of the president of the Spanish government to Morocco at the invitation of HM King Mohammed VI.

    In this regard, Akhannouch said that this high-level meeting reflects the historical relations and ties of friendship, as well as the bilateral strategic partnership, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI and HM King Felipe VI.

    He expressed his great satisfaction with the renewed momentum of bilateral relations and the strong commitment of the two kingdoms to raise them to higher levels, welcoming the importance of the Spanish delegation that took part in this session.

    The theme chosen for this session, namely "a privileged partnership, resolutely oriented towards the future", illustrates the common will to devote a permanent transparent dialogue, based on trust and mutual esteem in the treatment of all issues of common interest, he said.

    He also expressed his satisfaction with Spain's position on the first national cause, which supports the autonomy plan in the Moroccan Sahara, presented by the Kingdom in 2007 and considers it to be the most serious, realistic and credible basis for the settlement of this artificial conflict, stressing furthermore the determination of both countries to strengthen their strategic partnership.

    He concluded that the telephone conversation between the Sovereign and the president of the Spanish government opens wide prospects for relations between the two kingdoms.

    For his part, Sanchez noted that this exceptional session marks an important step for both countries and lays the foundation for a long-term relationship.

    This session, the first in eight years, was crowned by the signing of an unprecedented number of agreements, in addition to the consolidation of a new advanced economic partnership, he said.

    Expressing the interest of Spain to invest in strategic sectors such as agribusiness, tourism and railroads in Morocco, he welcomed the strengthening of cooperation in the fields of culture, education, vocational training and higher education.

  • Economy : Morocco, Spain Discuss Means to Strengthen Cooperation in Water and Infrastructure Fields

    The two parties examined, during this meeting, the means for an optimal implementation of bilateral partnership agreements, particularly through the development of joint action plans in the field of water.

    The talks were also an opportunity to affirm the commitment of the two kingdoms to strengthen their consultations in preparation of international water agendas, in order to meet the new challenges related to adaptation to climate change.

    In a statement to the press, Baraka said that this meeting is an opportunity to exchange on strategic projects, including the fixed link between the two countries via the Strait of Gibraltar and ways to improve the management and maintenance of roads and consolidate cooperation between Moroccan and Spanish ports.

    Emphasis was placed, in this context, on the need to enter into a logic of green port by taking into account climate change, and to take into consideration the expectations of economic actors in terms of strengthening the link between Morocco and Spain and thus the junction between Africa and Europe.

    For her part, the Spanish minister expressed, in a similar statement, "great satisfaction" of the talks she had with her Moroccan counterpart, stressing that this meeting of "great importance" was an opportunity to raise several issues of common interest.

    "We are committed to setting in the coming days the date of the meeting of the Joint Commission to discuss the next steps to be taken on the project of fixed link between Spain and Morocco via the Strait of Gibraltar," said Sanchez Jiménez.

    The Spanish minister welcomed the progress made in bilateral cooperation, noting that both parties are committed to working together for green ports, vectors of clean energy.

    In the same context, Baraka held talks with the 3rd vice president of the Government and Minister of Energy Transition and Demographic Challenge, Teresa Ribera Rodriguez, focusing in particular on strengthening bilateral cooperation in the field of water management in view of the challenges related to climate change.

    The Statement stressed that the communities of nationals residing respectively in both countries contribute to societies' mutual understanding.

    Given the vital role of education, culture and sports in bringing nations closer together, Spain and Morocco agree to place their exchanges in these areas at the center of their cooperation relations.

    In the field of education, the parties undertake to promote the exchange of documentation relating to school curricula in force, in order to facilitate the accreditation and recognition of education and diplomas issued to students, added the joint Statement, noting that both parties will strengthen their collaboration to promote student mobility.

    In this sense, the Spanish side will study measures to simplify administrative procedures for Moroccan students in Spain, while both sides will take the necessary steps to encourage Spanish public and private universities to open branches in Morocco, whose university offer is now strongly oriented towards internationalization, and whose universities host more than 20,000 African students receiving more than 11,000 scholarships.

    In this regard, both parties welcome the signing of the MoU on university cooperation and also the ongoing discussions to facilitate mutual access of new university students from each of the signatory parties.

    In this sense, added the joint Statement, both parties agree on the need to adopt an Agreement exclusively on this program, which will serve as a basis for its improvement and ensure its sustainability.

    Satisfied with the exchanges which took place since the last High-Level Meeting in the field of cultural cooperation, the two parties called for holding the 7th session of the Joint Cultural and Educational Commission, established under the Cultural Agreement between the governments of the two countries, signed in Rabat on October 14, 1980 and which has not met since 2003.

    The two countries, which note, moreover, the dynamism of the Spanish language in Morocco, are committed to strengthening the learning of this language in Moroccan schools, junior and high schools, and call for the development of a joint action plan to actively support the establishment of bilingual sections within the Moroccan education system in all its primary, secondary and higher levels, pursuant to the MoU signed for this purpose, as well as a training program in Spanish as a language of instruction, in favor of Moroccan teachers.

    The two parties also agreed to increase cooperation in the areas of media and institutional communication, including the development of a memorandum of understanding.

    They also agreed to begin updating the film co-production agreement signed in 1998, and to develop an audiovisual co-production agreement that would reflect the expectations of both parties.

    Both parties also express their interest in cooperating to ensure the protection of copyright and related rights in all areas by putting in contact their respective competent bodies and exchanging experiences and information, especially on the impact of new technologies, said the joint Statement, adding that the Moroccan side expressed interest in concluding a reciprocal representation agreement between the Moroccan Copyright Office and its Spanish counterpart.

    The two countries also welcomed the organization by the Kingdom of Morocco, in November 2022 in Fez, of the 9th Global Forum of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, which was a strong moment to highlight the universality of its values.

  • Politics : Spain Welcomes Efficient Cooperation with Morocco in Circular, Regular Migration (Joint Statement)

    In a joint statement issued at the end of the 12th Moroccan-Spanish High Level Meeting, held under the joint chairmanship of the Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch and the President of the Spanish Government Pedro Sanchez, the two countries agree to intensify their cooperation in the fight against irregular migration, border control, the fight against networks and the readmission of illegal immigrants.

    Stressing that the fight against criminal networks of illegal immigration should also recall the responsibility of neighboring countries, countries of origin and the EU in the face of this phenomenon, the two countries recognize the many positive contributions that immigrant communities make to both host countries and their countries of origin. In this sense, they are fully committed to combating all forms of racism, xenophobia and any other discrimination against immigrant populations.
