Spanish Presidency Minister Félix Bolaños on Friday said that his country must have “very good” relations with Morocco, calling the North African Kingdom a “strategic ally” in various areas. “Due to its geographical proximity to our country, Morocco is a strategic partner and a fundamental ally in a multitude of issues that affect daily life in Spain,” noted the Spanish official. He argued that Spain’s relations with Morocco should be a state policy applied for mutual benefit, highlighting the depth of the ties that unite the two countries in all areas. The Foreign Minister recalled that more than 6,000 Spanish companies export products worth 12 billion euros to Morocco, and that 1,200 Spanish companies are present in Morocco either directly or through their subsidiaries. This position is based on cooperation, mutual respect, non-interference in internal affairs, absence of unilateral acts and responsibility, the Foreign Minister stated.
