The Moroccan Ambassador to Egypt, Mohamed Ait Ouali, stated that Moroccan-Egyptian relations are not merely ordinary diplomatic relations, but rather deep-rooted historical ties of brotherhood, drawing their strength from the strong popular bonds and distinguished fraternal relations that unite King Mohammed VI and President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi of the Arab Republic of Egypt.
In his remarks, the Moroccan Ambassador pointed out that the strategic partnership between the two countries has translated into a qualitative leap and positive dynamism, culminating in the convening of the first session of the “Coordination and Follow-up Committee,” chaired by the heads of government of both countries. This session witnessed the signing of 14 new cooperation agreements in vital and promising sectors, and the tangible development of economic relations after overcoming the technical obstacles that had hindered the smooth flow of trade and investment between the two countries. Furthermore, the launch of four daily flights between Cairo and Casablanca has facilitated travel and invigorated human and cultural exchange.

He explained that King Mohammed VI has ushered the Kingdom into a new era of profound structural reforms that place the citizen at the heart of development and have achieved significant progress in infrastructure, industry, trade, diplomacy, tourism, and sports, solidifying Morocco’s position as an influential regional player and a leading model for peace and comprehensive development.
He emphasised the remarkable surge in reciprocal tourism thanks to the facilitation and simplification of travel procedures, as well as the increased level of political coordination and consultation, and mutual support for the two countries’ candidates in regional and international organisations.
He noted that this ongoing coordination and the continuous meetings between the heads of government, ministers, and officials of both countries, despite rapid regional developments and complex global challenges, confirm the close alignment and harmony of visions and positions, propelling our relations toward further growth and prosperity.
He continued the bonds of love and loyalty between our two peoples are stronger than all attempts to sow discord and create division. The best evidence of this unity is the support shown by Moroccan fans for the Egyptian national team during the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. Furthermore, Moroccans and Egyptians stayed up late watching and supporting their respective national teams during the last World Cup.”
He pointed out that Morocco, in accordance with the royal vision, has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to supporting the issues of the African continent and achieving its comprehensive and shared development. King Mohammed VI’s more than 51 visits to some 30 African countries culminated in the signing of nearly 1,000 cooperation agreements. Foremost among these is the “Atlantic Initiative,” launched by the King and widely praised internationally, which embodies this commitment, especially as it will enable Sahel countries to access the Atlantic Ocean, opening up promising economic and developmental prospects that will support the continent’s stability and prosperity.
