Morocco and Turkey: 65 years of friendship and cooperation

Excerpts from a piece written by the Moroccan ambassador to Turkey

In this regard, I am delighted to state that the mutual support for the respective territorial integrity [Western Sahara in the case of Morocco; in Turkey’s case….] was reaffirmed by both top diplomats. On this matter, I wish to hail the convergence of points of view, both on regional and international issues, also highlighted during this virtual meeting.

The United States of America announced its recognition of the Kingdom’s sovereignty over the Moroccan Western Sahara. This milestone recognition came in the framework of a tripartite agreement resuming the bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and Israel, a host country of more than one million citizens of Moroccan origins.

The American recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara will be enforced by the near future opening of a US consulate to Morocco in the southern Moroccan city of Dakhla.
