Rabat- Morocco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita arrived in Berlin on Wednesday, April 11, to meet with his German counterpart Heiko Maas.
The talks between the Moroccan minister and his German counterpart revolved around bilateral cooperation, relations between Morocco and the European Union and the territorial integrity of Morocco, a governmental source said.
The same source added that the head of the Moroccan diplomacy does not plan to meet the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for the Sahara, Horst Kohler, whose offices are in Berlin.
“There will be no meeting between the two men in Berlin. The working visit of Nasser Bourita is exclusively reserved for the German authorities,” the governmental source told the Moroccan media le360.
Bourita’s visit to Berlin comes after his visit to Paris, where he met the French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian on Tuesday, April 10, as part of the Moroccan diplomat’s European tour, which aims to strengthen the partnership and exchange between Morocco and European countries related to the latest developments in the Sahara issue following Polisario’s illegal maneuvers east of Morocco’s defense wall.
Through this move, Morocco demands international support for Morocco’s Autonomy Plan and calls on the UN and the international community to act in response to Polisario provocation, in order to maintain security and stability in the region.
Germany, which has friendly relations with Morocco, will join the UN Security Council in 2019 as a non-permanent member.
