King Mohammed VI started Tuesday a few day working and friendship visit to the United Arab Emirates, a sisterly country bound to Morocco by a large number of diplomatic and economic cooperation agreements, reports the news outlet le360. The Monarch will discuss with the leaders of the United Arab Emirates various bilateral, regional and international issues, as well as means of boosting political and economic relations between the two countries. The King’s latest visit to the UAE dates back to November 2017, when the Monarch had attended the opening ceremony of the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum and conferred with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohammed Ben Zayed al-Nahyan. Cooperation between Morocco and the United Arab Emirates encompasses several areas. In this connection, the UAE supports the national renewable energy development plan, which has benefited from financial facilities estimated at $300 million.
