During his meeting with Mrs. Armengol, Mr. Talbi El Alami emphasized the high level of relations between Morocco and Spain, and the two parties discussed ways to deepen these ties further. They also stressed the importance of intensifying communication and coordination between the two legislative institutions. Additionally, they discussed the upcoming Morocco-Spain parliamentary forum, a privileged space for dialogue on common issues such as climate change, immigration, infrastructure, and the organization of the 2030 World Cup.
Regarding his discussions with Mrs. Suica, the talks focused on how to promote parliamentary cooperation in various areas. The European Commissioner praised the “strategic partnership” between Morocco and the European Union, describing the cooperation on migration as “exemplary.”
