CAIRO, May 29 (MENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty said Egypt is keen on fostering relations with Morocco in various fields, lauding the existing coordination and consultation between the two countries.

Abdelatty made the remarks during his meeting on Thursday in Rabat with Speaker of the Moroccan House of Representatives Rachid Talbi El Alami.

The top Egyptian diplomat expressed hope for holding the fourth edition of the coordination and consultation Mechanism at the level of foreign ministers.

The minister stated Egypt pays great attention to enhancing trade, industrial and investment ties with Morocco and building on the important outcomes of the visit of Egyptian Investment Minister Hassan El Khatib to Morocco in February 2025 and the visit of Moroccan Secretary of State in charge of Foreign Trade Omar Hejira to Cairo in May 2025, with a view to promoting bilateral trade and establishing successful partnerships between the two countries' private sectors.

Abdelatty noted Egyptian companies stand ready to participate in infrastructure projects being carried out in Morocco, in preparation for hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

Meanwhile, the foreign minister lauded the effective role of the Moroccan Parliament at the Arab, African, Mediterranean and Latin America levels.

In this regard, Abdelatty commended the Moroccan parliamentary diplomacy's part in supporting Arab issues, notably the Palestinian one, in international parliamentary forums.

He added the Egyptian Parliament looks forward to exchanging experience with its Moroccan counterpart, especially with regard to issues of common concern.

The foreign minister stressed Egypt's keenness to increase the exchange of visits between speakers of the two countries' legislative bodies, highlighting the visit of Senate Speaker Abdel Wahab Abdel Razeq to Morocco in April 2025. (MENA)
