A delegation of US Senators has described Morocco as "a stabilizing force in a volatile region".
"We express our deep appreciation to King Mohammed VI for his commitment to strengthening relations between the US and Morocco, and for his key role in advancing peace, prosperity, and security across and throughout the world", said Senator Bob Menendez on Monday in Casablanca following talks with Moroccan FM Nasser Bourita.
The meeting was “an opportunity to review the strong Moroccan-US relationship and discuss bilateral cooperation to address, together, a wide range of regional and international challenges,” added Menendez.
Talks also covered bilateral partnerships on a range of security issues, including the fight against terrorism.
In this regard, the Senator said he was confident that Moroccan-American relations "can only strengthen further in the years to come."
He also focused on the "warming of relations between Morocco and Israel," stressing that these ties "are already creating new opportunities for peace and prosperity."
As for Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, he said that "members of both parties see Morocco as a stabilizing force in a volatile region," adding that the Kingdom "stands out as a stable force for good."
He also described the relationship between Rabat and Washington as one of "the strongest that the US maintains in the region".
