CAIRO, May 28 (MENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty delivered on Wednesday a message from President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to King Mohammed VI of Morocco.

The message was handed during the top diplomat's talks with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita in Rabat at the start of an official visit.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tamim Khallaf said Abdelatty emphasized Egypt’s commitment to strengthening ties with Morocco in different domains and expressed hope for promoting bilateral relations through the convocation of the High Joint Committee in Cairo and a Foreign Ministers’ coordination mechanism.

He also underscored the importance of boosting economic and trade cooperation.

He praised the successful Egyptian-Moroccan Business Forum held on May 4 in Cairo, which brought together 148 companies—74 Egyptian and 31 Moroccan—and reaffirmed Egypt’s commitment to following up on the forum’s outcome ahead of the joint trade committee meeting scheduled for October in Cairo.

The ministers also exchanged views on regional issues, particularly the situation in Gaza with Abdelatty highlighting Egypt’s efforts to halt the Israeli offensive, restore a ceasefire, ensure full humanitarian access, and implement the Arab reconstruction plan for Gaza.

He commended King Mohammed VI’s leadership of the Al-Quds Committee and its support for the Palestinian cause.

The meeting also covered developments in Sudan, Libya, and the Sahel region. (MENA)
