Morocco and Jordan have agreed to hold the meeting of the High Joint Committee between the two countries as soon as possible, the Moroccan Foreign Minister, Nasser Bourita said Monday in Amman.
In a joint press briefing held after his talks with the Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ayman Safadi, Nasser Bourita said that a forum of Moroccan and Jordanian businessmen will also be held in parallel to this meeting to discuss ways of action and joint investment in the two countries or in other regions including the African continent, stressing the importance of removing all obstacles to cooperation between businessmen of the two kingdoms, including facilitating the granting of visas.
In this context, he said that practical measures will be taken soon to resolve all these problems, in addition to the issue of air and sea transport, since it is considered essential to strengthen cooperation and trade between the two countries.
Recalling the exceptional relations existing between the two kingdoms, the Moroccan minister said that these relations have all the potential to rise to a strategic partnership in all spheres.
Under the leadership of the two heads of state, the two kingdoms have achieved a lot within the framework of political coordination and bilateral cooperation, the Moroccan minister stressed.
“Today, what is imperative is to implement the main reference of this relationship, namely the joint communiqué issued at the end of the meeting of the leaders of the two countries in late March in Casablanca in 2019, to give more economic and humanitarian content to these ties,” he said.
These talks, held on the eve of the meeting of the Council of the League of Arab States at the level of foreign ministers, focused on ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation in various areas and activate joint Arab action in the service of Arab causes, among which the Palestinian issue.
