The General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) on Thursday extended an official invitation to Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita to attend a meeting with his GCC counterparts on March 6, 2025, in Saudi Arabia. The meeting will focus on bolstering the strategic partnership between the two sides, as directed by their leaders.
The invitation was delivered during a meeting between Bourita and GCC Secretary-General Jasem Al-Budaiwi, who is on an official visit to Rabat to enhance Gulf-Moroccan relations. The two officials discussed the latest developments on regional and international fronts.
Their talks covered key areas of mutual interest, particularly the ongoing cooperation between the GCC and Morocco in political and economic fields under the joint action plan. They also explored ways to further strengthen these ties and achieve their full potential.
Al-Budaiwi commended Moroccan King Mohammed VI’s commitment to the strong and strategic bonds between his country and the Gulf at all levels. He underscored the importance of the special strategic partnership highlighted in the 45th GCC Summit Declaration.
In a press conference, the Secretary-General noted that the Gulf-Moroccan partnership has produced an ambitious joint action plan spanning various sectors, which is being implemented by a bilateral committee.
He reiterated the GCC’s unwavering stance and resolutions supporting Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, its security, stability, and territorial integrity, referring to UN Security Council Resolution 2756, adopted on October 31, regarding the Moroccan Sahara.
