“We will take seriously the strengthening of this relationship to which HM King Mohammed VI attaches particular importance,” Akhannouch said during a joint press briefing with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, at the end of their talks, adding that Morocco wants to move forward in its partnership with the EU through the implementation of major projects.
The Kingdom and the EU, bound by a common future, share the same visions, he continued, noting that the talks with Mrs. von der Leyen were an opportunity to review the major projects launched under the impetus of HM King Mohammed VI and which make social protection a priority.
Mr Akhannouch said that he had informed the European leader of the importance of this project for Moroccans, particularly in the context of the spread of Covid-19.
The meeting also made it possible to discuss other priority issues, including green energy, digital transition, investment, economic recovery and the promotion of culture, the Head of Government said.
For her part, Mrs. von der Leyen reaffirmed the EU’s willingness to continue to deepen the “strategic, close and solid” partnership with Morocco.
The talks between Mr. Akhannouch and Mrs. von der Leyen took place in the presence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Resident Abroad, Mr. Nasser Bourita, and the EU Ambassador to Morocco, Mrs. Patricia Pilar Llombart Cussac.
