Morocco continues its irresistible diplomatic rise across the European continent. After impactful and symbolic stops in France, Estonia, Moldova, Croatia, and Hungary, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates, Mr. Nasser Bourita, is expected this Thursday, April 17, in Madrid to complete a major European tour that marks a strategic turning point in the Kingdom’s international influence.
A Royal Diplomacy in Motion
Guided by the enlightened vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Nasser Bourita embodies a proactive, modern, and effective diplomacy—rooted in firm principles, clear positions, and consistent commitments. This European tour, widely praised by observers as a masterful demonstration of Morocco’s new stature on the global stage, reflects a deliberate ambition to strengthen multidimensional partnerships with European countries, based on mutual respect and win-win cooperation.
From Paris to Budapest: A Controlled Diplomatic Offensive
In Paris, discussions with French officials helped consolidate a centuries-old, high-level relationship marked by historic, human, and strategic bonds. In Tallinn, digital and technological cooperation took center stage, highlighting Morocco’s capacity to position itself as a global innovation actor. In Chisinau, Nasser Bourita opened new avenues of cooperation with a Moldova in full geopolitical redefinition. In Zagreb, Croatia reaffirmed its clear support for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom, while in Budapest, a true convergence of views on major international issues was celebrated.
Madrid: The Cornerstone of a Strengthened Strategic Partnership
Choosing Spain as the final stop on this diplomatic journey is far from coincidental. Bound to Morocco by deep economic, human, and security ties, Madrid is a strategic partner with whom Rabat maintains continuous and in-depth dialogue. This visit is part of the renewed bilateral roadmap, anchored in trust, mutual respect, and transparency.
Mr. Nasser Bourita is expected to discuss with his Spanish counterparts several key issues: migration cooperation, investment, security, education, and support for Morocco’s autonomy plan for the Sahara—now recognized as a credible compromise and hailed by a growing number of international actors.
Morocco, a Continental Diplomatic Power
With this well-orchestrated and ambitious European tour, the Kingdom of Morocco reaffirms its status as a respected, emerging diplomatic power, speaking as an equal with the world’s major capitals. Morocco’s voice is now heard, sought after, and taken seriously in the shaping of regional and global balances.
This diplomatic journey is not the path of an inward-looking state, but that of a confident Morocco—open to the world, rooted in historical legitimacy, and guided by the righteousness of its causes.
Driven by the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, and thanks to the expertise of his diplomatic envoys, foremost among them Mr. Nasser Bourita, Morocco is charting its course with assurance and dignity. It speaks to the world with a firm, calm, and now indispensable voice.
