According to a statement of the Moroccan diplomatic mission received by MAP, the two parties welcomed the dynamics of cooperation between the two institutions, while calling for their strengthening in favor of the consolidation of ties of friendship, esteem and mutual respect between the Kingdom and the Dominican Republic. They welcomed the celebration, in 2020, of the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and expressed their commitment to contribute to their development in all directions for the benefit of both friendly peoples. The Moroccan and Dominican elected officials also highlighted the existing instruments of cooperation within the legislative institutions of both countries, in particular the mechanism of friendship groups, in order to promote the rapprochement between the Moroccan parliamentarians and their Dominican counterparts.
