A « framework of bilateral relations of the twenty-first century » opens today ending a period of « misunderstanding between two fraternal, friendly, cooperative and truly loyal countries, » said Saturday, Grande-Marlaska in statements to the media.

Morocco and Spain have established « a 21st century relationship between two countries that have always been close to each other, » said the Spanish minister, adding that the visit to Morocco of the President of the Government Pedro Sanchez, at the invitation of HM King Mohammed VI, has allowed the « restoration » of full bilateral relations.

Rabat and Madrid will deepen their cooperation in the areas of « security and immigration », but also « transversally » to establish a more comprehensive partnership encompassing infrastructure, industry, culture, education and vocational training, said Grande-Marlaska.

« I can say that relations with Morocco have reached an absolutely important level of understanding, » he added.
