The King of Morocco, Mohamed VI, congratulated Pedro Sánchez on his inauguration as President of the Spanish Government and reiterated his “firm determination” to continue working with him “to advance the strengthening of friendly relations” between both countries.

In a statement released by the official Moroccan agency MAP, the monarch expresses to Sánchez “his warm congratulations and his sincere wishes for complete success in realizing the aspirations of the friendly Spanish people towards greater progress and prosperity.”

Mohamed VI highlights the “solid cooperation that unites both countries” and his desire to consolidate the new stage in the strategic partnership adopted by both leaders, “based on good neighborliness, mutual trust and permanent and constructive dialogue.”

The Alawite king recalls in his message to Sánchez the commitment of the two neighboring countries to “consecrate agreement” on regional and international issues of common interest, and to contribute “to the preservation of peace, stability and prosperity in the region Euro-Mediterranean”.

Sánchez was inaugurated thanks to the votes of the left-wing platform Sumar and several regionalist, independentist and nationalist Catalan, Basque, Galician and Canarian formations, in addition to those of his own party, and this Friday he promised the position before King Felipe VI and the Constitution.
