A hand extended to Algeria
The sovereign reaffirms his new proximity to his Algerian neighbor, by renewing his sincere commitment to keep a hand extended to work together and without conditions for the establishment of bilateral relations based on trust, dialogue and good neighborliness and that the borders are and remain open.
His Majesty is very aware of the bonds of brotherhood and good neighborliness which have always united the two fraternal peoples, moreover, the common destiny of the two countries. Any instability in one country automatically affects the other. In addition, the security and stability of Algeria are priorities for Moroccan foreign policy.
