Mohamed VI highlights in a letter to Felipe VI the "excellent relations" between Morocco and Spain - World

King Mohamed VI of Morocco today expressed "great satisfaction" for the "excellent relations" that unite Rabat and Madrid and pledged to work to raise them to "the level of the aspirations and ambitions of the two friendly peoples."

In a congratulatory letter sent today to King Felipe VI of Spain and Queen Letizia on the occasion of Hispanic Day, collected by the official agency MAP, the monarch specified that the "ties of solid friendship" between the two countries are based on a "fruitful cooperation and mutual consideration".

Likewise, King Mohamed VI was satisfied with the "solid bonds of friendship that unite the two royal families" and expressed his "sincere wishes of health and happiness to the sovereigns and the illustrious royal family of Spain, and of greater progress and prosperity for the Spanish people. "

This is the first letter sent by the Alawite sovereign to the kings of Spain after the crisis opened on April 21 between the two countries as a result of the hospitalization in Spanish territory of the leader of the Polisario Front, Brahim Gali, and the subsequent massive entry of immigrants in May in the city of Ceuta before the passivity of the Moroccan authorities.

However, Mohamed VI dedicated on August 20 a part of the speech he makes annually on the occasion of the King and People's Revolution to reconciliation with Spain.

After four months of bilateral crisis, the Moroccan king expressed in his speech the desire to "inaugurate an unprecedented stage" in relations with Spain that should be based, he said, on "trust, transparency, mutual consideration and respect for The compromises".
