Morocco and Mauritania are expected to strengthen their relations following a meeting between King Mohammed VI and President Mohamed Ould Cheikh Ghazouani in Rabat, Mauritania’s media reported, citing informed sources.
Preparations are underway to convene the Morocco-Mauritania Joint High Commission, which last met in March 2022, a significant step toward improving ties between the two nations, according to the Mauritanian news outlet Al Houriya.
A recent meeting between Mauritania’s Minister of Economy and Finance and Morocco’s ambassador highlighted the potential growth of the two countries’ economic partnership between the two countries.
A key topic discussed during Ghazouani’s recent visit was the Africa Atlantic Gas Pipeline project, a strategic initiative connecting Nigeria and Morocco. The project is considered a cornerstone for regional energy cooperation and a potential driver of economic integration between Morocco and Mauritania.
