Morocco, “a good example in terms of cooperation”
Morocco is a good example of cooperation with countries outside its geographic neighborhood, Liam Fox said during the same meeting.
“While not necessarily one of our immediate neighbors, Morocco is one of those countries with which we can promote better understanding and develop more common policies,” Fox said.
“Morocco, therefore, is a good example”, argued the British MP, explaining that the Kingdom is one of the best examples of countries cooperating with other functionally similar countries, even if they are not geographically neighboring countries.
Mr. Welcoming the constructive meeting with Bourita, he expressed hope that the exchanges focused on several issues of common interest, regional, political, economic and security.
