Pedro Sánchez talks with H.M. Mohamed VI on the new stage started between Spain and Morocco

A stage based not only on transparency and permanent communication, mutual respect, and compliance with the agreements signed by both parties, but also on restraint from any unilateral action to honour the importance of all that we share and to avoid future crises between our two countries.

H.M. the King, Mohammed VI, has invited the President of the Government of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, to visit Rabat in the coming days to launch the roadmap that consolidates this new relationship; an ambitious roadmap, worthy of neighbouring countries and strategic partners. President Sánchez will travel to Rabat accompanied by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares Bueno.

H.M. King Felipe VI has been informed of the details of the conversation by the President of the Government of Spain.

Morocco is a neighbour and friend of Spain. Both share a common history, human ties, agreements and links that have forged similar interests over time.

Morocco is also an indispensable strategic partner for Spain and the European Union in many areas such as migration control, the fight against terrorism and economic and trade relations, among others.

The Government of Spain regards relations with Morocco as a matter of state. In this context, the President of the Government of Spain expressed his firm desire to renew and deepen the privileged relationship between Spain and Morocco, in a spirit of close cooperation to face common challenges together and guarantee the stability and territorial integrity of Spain and the prosperity of both countries.
