Posted on by

Morocco is a key regional political player and a privileged partner of the European Union (EU), German Minister of Interior and Community, Nancy Faeser, said Monday in Rabat. During a press conference following her talks with Interior Minister, Abdelouafi Laftit, the German official called for giving new impetus to Moroccan-German relations and further deepening them in different fields. In this respect, she recalled the long-standing cooperation between the two ministries, particularly in the areas of security, anti-terrorism and organized crime, citing other spheres to expand this cooperation, namely civil protection and digitalization. Migration is also an important topic of cooperation, Germany and Morocco being countries not only of emigration but also of transit, Faeser said, stressing the need to reinforce legal migration in order to fight irregular migration.
