Morocco and Spain to Discuss Canary Islands Maritime Border in June Talks

The issue of the delimitation of territorial waters, particularly those concerning the Canary Islands, will soon be the subject of discussion in Madrid. The announcement was made by Nasser Bourita, Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Residing Abroad.

The head of Moroccan diplomacy, in an interview with RFI, announced that the issue of the delimitation of territorial waters, mainly those concerning the Canary Islands, will be the subject of discussion in Madrid in June. When questioned about the relations between Morocco and Spain, he estimated that the two countries will present a different model of relationship between the two shores of the Mediterranean. Nasser Bourita took the opportunity to list some actions.

"With the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, we have had many formal, informal meetings, etc. First, to ensure the follow-up with respect to the roadmap that was agreed upon, a large number of the announced measures have been implemented, the maritime links have been restored, the working group on migration has met after decisions, working groups on maritime delimitations, on the management of airspace will be held next month in Spain. I think that today Morocco and Spain will present a different model of relationship between the two shores of the Mediterranean".
