Juan Pablo de Laiglesia stressed, in a statement to the press following a meeting with Moroccan Foreign Minister Taib Fassi Fihri, the Spanish government's "political will" to deepen and consolidate these "excellent, rich and intensive" relations.
    De Laiglesia, who makes his first visit to the Kingdom as Secretary of State for foreign affairs,  said the meeting tackled bilateral relations and their future prospects in the mid and short-term.
    The meeting was also an opportunity to examine the means to further reinforce economic cooperation, he said, underlining his country's commitment to support Morocco’s development, notably in the field of education.
    The two parties also discussed Morocco's relations with the EU, notably the Advanced Status and the Union for the Mediterranean, the Spanish official added.
