Indonesian FM Calls for Reinvigorated Strategic Partnership with Morocco

Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi called, here Friday, for pooling efforts to further promote relations with Morocco to a reinvigorated strategic partnership, welcoming the privileged ties between the two countries.

   At a joint press briefing following her talks with Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, the head of Indonesian diplomacy underlined the importance of “making this new partnership a reality through full cooperation for our two peoples”.

Affirming that Indonesia is a “reliable partner of Morocco”, the minister recalled that the two countries “defend the principle of respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States”.

She also welcomed the grant of the “Sectoral Dialogue Partner” status within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to Morocco, which opens prospects for stronger cooperation between this regional bloc and the Kingdom.

Marsudi also called for promoting collaboration between health institutions and companies in the two countries for the exchange of expertise in vaccine manufacturing.

In the same vein, she highlighted the positive momentum of bilateral trade, citing the ongoing B2B cooperation with the OCP group in the supply of potassium and phosphorus, hoping to see this collaboration cover the areas of investments and joint production of fertilizers.

Tackling the situation in the Gaza Strip, the minister emphasized the need to declare a ceasefire that paves the way for the delivery of humanitarian aid to the populations of Gaza, while calling for the revival of the two-state solution to guarantee Palestinian rights.
