The two officials expressed their shared determination to promote security cooperation between the two countries and exchanged views on several issues, including the fight against terrorism, extremism, and illegal immigration. In light of the emergence of different forms of threats, Morocco and Germany are both convinced of the importance of proactive prevention to limit these crimes, the Moroccan Interior Ministry said in a press release. It is to be recalled that Moroccan security services have repeatedly helped their German counterparts to foil terror plots and arrest terrorists. Migration is also an important topic of cooperation, Germany and Morocco being countries not only of emigration but also of transit, Faeser said, stressing the need to reinforce legal migration to fight irregular migration. The German official also hailed the considerable efforts made by Moroccan authorities for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the earthquake-affected areas.
