Finland welcomed Morocco’s efforts through diverse initiatives launched under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, to further peace, stability and socio-economic development in Africa, in particular, the Royal Initiative to facilitate access for Sahel countries to the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the “Atlantic African States Process.”
In a Communiqué issued following Tuesday’s meeting in Helsinki between Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, and his Finnish peer, Elina Valtnonen, Finland also highlighted Morocco’s political stability, and welcomed the reforms carried out by the kingdom under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, for a more open and dynamic Moroccan society and economy, notably through the new development model and advanced regionalization.
This international recognition reinforces Morocco’s position as a key player in the region, and highlights the enlightened vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI to enshrine the Kingdom’s central role at continental and international level.
In this regard, Finland recognized Morocco’s key position as a gateway between Africa and Europe, its important role in the EU-Africa partnership at large, as well as its decisive contribution to the enhancement of regional cooperation and stability in the region, the fight against terrorism and cooperation on cross-border migration management.
