EP Speaker Underlines Morocco's Major Role in Maintaining Stability in Mediterranean

Speaker of the European Parliament (EP) Antonio Tajani underlined, on Wednesday in Brussels, the major role played by Morocco in maintaining stability in the Mediterranean.

"I would like to thank HM King Mohammed VI and the Moroccan government for the work they have accomplished for stability in the Mediterranean and the region. Thanks to Morocco, we have a less dangerous situation," said Tajani in a statement to the press following the working meeting he had with speaker of the house of representatives Habib El Malki.

Highlighting the strategic aspect of the Morocco-EU relations, Tajani hailed the Kingdom's commitment to the counterterrorism fight and its role of a platform between Africa and Europe, and the Muslim and European countries.

The Speaker of the European Parliament surveyed matters on which the two parties are working, mainly security, management of migratory inflows, youth employment, sustainable growth and the fight against radicalization, and called for intensifying ties and information sharing concerning counterterrorism and the fight against human trafficking.

Recalling that Morocco is the EU's top partner, Tajani commended the achievements made by the country in the fields of interfaith dialogue, liberties and the rule of law.
