The UK expressed pride in its role as an observer during Morocco’s 2021 general elections, which occurred on September 8.
According to a tweet, the UK embassy in Morocco said that the country’s government has taken pride in supporting the democratic development of Morocco over the past decade.
“Our Embassy was pleased yesterday to take part in observing the elections,” the embassy said.
The UK government also expressed determination to work with Morocco’s new government to “deepen the historic ties between our Kingdoms.”
The UK and Morocco maintain strong diplomatic relations.
This year, the two countries are celebrating the 300-year anniversary of the first trade treaty between the UK and Morocco.
The treaty of 1721 cemented the UK’s position as the leading trading partner for Morocco at the time.
The UK was not the only country to commend the conditions under which the general elections took place.
The US also congratulated Morocco for the conditions in which the elections were set in.
After closing polls on Wednesday, Morocco received a congratulatory message from the US on the successful completion of the general elections.
The US embassy in Rabat also commended the strong US-Morocco relations.
“Our shared commitment to democratic processes strengthens our 200-year partnership.”
This year’s election is the third of its kind under Morocco’s 2011 constitutional reforms and it also marks the eleventh election since Morocco gained its independence.
Over 500 local and international observers participated in observing the elections.
