Spain’s King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia concluded their memorial visit to Morocco
Spain’s King Felipe VI bid farewell Tuesday to Moroccan monarch Mohammed VI after a two-day visit to the North African nation, while expressing gratitude for all the hospitality: “Really, it was a very, very good trip.”
At the foot of the boarding stairs of a Spanish air force plane at Rabat airport, Mohammed VI and Princess Lalla Salma, saw off King Felipe and Queen Letizia with signs of affection in the presence of a large representation of the Moroccan government and civil, military and judicial leaders.
The two kings said goodbye with the ritual embrace, as did their spouses, who had kept up a lively conversation until seconds before the visitors boarded the plane for the flight back to Madrid.
The final phase of the Spanish royals’ visit had separate agendas.
On the one hand, Felipe VI and Mohammed VI inaugurated a tourism and hotel industry training center in Temara, south of Rabat.
The center, a project of the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity that is soon to be opened, will welcome jobless young people and features a cooking school and a “hotel classroom” with four practice rooms.
Meanwhile, Queen Letizia and Princess Lalla Salma visited a cancer prevention and treatment center especially for women, sponsored by a foundation that bears the name of the Moroccan princess.
Queen Letizia and Princess Lalla Salma are involved in the fight against cancer in their respective countries.
