The European Council reaffirms ”the great value” that the EU attaches to its strategic partnership with Morocco and the need to preserve and strengthen it
Brussels – The European Council, which brings together the heads of state and government of the 27 member states of the European Union, reaffirmed, Friday at a Summit in Brussels, “the great value” that the EU attaches to its strategic partnership with Morocco.
The European Council also reiterated the need to preserve and continue to strengthen close relations with the Kingdom in all areas of the Morocco-EU partnership.
This is the third time since the decision of the Court of Justice of the EU two weeks ago that the EU has reaffirmed this commitment at the highest level.
Indeed, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the High Representative of the EU, Josep Borrell, reaffirmed, in a joint declaration, the commitment of the European bloc to further preservation and strengthening close relations with Morocco in all areas, in accordance with the principle “pacta sunt servanda”.
This commitment was reiterated this week by the head of EU diplomacy, who chaired the EU Foreign Affairs Council, emphasizing the “immense value” that the EU places on the strategic partnership with Morocco.
