This 5th session comes at a significant moment in the relations between the two countries, marked by the positive momentum in bilateral cooperation and by the UK’s support for the Autonomy Plan presented by Morocco in 2007.

It is distinguished by a shared commitment from both Ministers to open a new, more ambitious and forward-looking chapter of cooperation, for the benefit of both nations, including an African dimension aimed at contributing to peace, security and economic development across the continent.

This new session provided an opportunity for the two Ministers to exchange views on questions of common interest and to reaffirm their commitment to further strengthening political and security dialogue, as well as deepening and diversifying economic partnership.

Launched in London on July 5, 2018, this Strategic Dialogue serves as an important mechanism to consolidate the historic ties between the two Kingdoms and to further reinforce and deepen bilateral relations.

The Strategic Dialogue is structured around key themes for strengthening bilateral cooperation: political, security, economic, cultural and people-to-people exchanges, and also covers regional, international, and multilateral issues.
