In the meeting, the Jordanian minister discussed his desire to step up efforts to increase bilateral trade.
In 2016, Jordan Times reported that Jordan imports $25 million worth of goods from Morocco, while Jordan exports $20 million worth of goods to Morocco.
Both officials also commended the bilateral ties between the two countries, which “draw their strength from the fraternal relations” between the Moroccan and Jordanian kings.
Morocco has received support from several countries for its autonomy initiative as the basis for a solution to the Western Sahara conflict from African and Gulf countries.
Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE all reiterated support for Morocco’s territorial integrity at the 4th Committee of the UN General Assembly.
