Moroccan Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane said the visit of Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki to Morocco is an important step towards achieving the ambitions of the peoples of the Maghreb region who yearn for unity.
In a statement to the press after the audience granted to him, in Rabat, by Tunisia’s President, who began on Wednesday a working and brotherly visit in Morocco, Benkirane stressed the two countries’ common will to achieve the expected Maghreb unity, especially through opening borders and reactivating the cooperation in various fields, as is the case for several regional blocs which managed to integrate despite many points of discord.
The Premier said this visit is important to contribute to reinvigorating the various protocols and agreements between the two brotherly countries and thus make bilateral cooperation a concrete and tangible reality.
Through this symbolic visit, said Benkirane, both countries have taken an important step towards a promising future marked by cooperation and effective partnership, with a view to achieving the Maghreb unity.
