The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, stated on Thursday in Brussels that the EU is keen to strengthen its partnership with Morocco in light of common regional and international challenges.
The Vice-President of the European Commission made the statement to the press shortly before the opening of the 15th session of the Morocco–EU Association Council.
This meeting aims above all to “do more together,” Kallas said, highlighting in particular cooperation in the fields of migration and security, as well as the very significant role Morocco has played within the UN Human Rights Council.
The EU’s top diplomat indicated that discussions will cover several international issues, notably the situation in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Sahel.
In this regard, Kallas stressed the importance of strengthening dialogue and cooperation at the international level, while underscoring “Morocco’s unique experience in combating terrorism and radicalization.”
Gaza, she said, is “a priority,” thanking Morocco for having hosted a meeting of the Global Alliance, described as “the strongest international forum” in support of the two-State solution.
She also announced that the European Union has adopted a new common position on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara, following the UN Security Council resolution.
“Morocco is already an important partner for the European Union. After 30 years of an association agreement, it is time to do much more together,” she concluded.
