Rabat – Moroccan Foreign Minister, Nasser Bourita, and his Kuwaiti counterpart, Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah, met in Marrakesh on Tuesday to discuss the two countries’ deep and improving ties.
Discussions between the two chief diplomats mainly focused on ways to promote bilateral relations at all levels, as well as the most recent developments on both the regional and international levels, reported Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).
Bourita’s meeting with Al-Sabah was held on the sidelines of the international coalition’s ministerial meeting to combat ISIS, which is currently taking place in Marrakech.
Participants have billed the ministerial meeting as yet another step toward achieving international coordination in the fight against ISIS. During the meeting, the coalition will assess the global strategy to curb Daesh’s (ISIS) influence and explore the rise of related terrorist groups around the world.
The international coalition against ISIS was founded in 2014 and consists of 84 states.
Morocco’s and Kuwait bilateral relations have always been friendly.
In 2014, Kuwait’s ambassador to Morocco, Shamlan Al Roomi, praised King Mohammed VI and the Emir of Kuwait, Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, for their commendable efforts in promoting fruitful and long-term bilateral cooperation.
In December 2020, Kuwait expressed support for the US’ decision to recognize Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.
