King Mohammed VI, accompanied by Prince Moulay Rachid, arrived Tuesday night in Riyadh to take part in the Morocco-GCC Summit.

Upon his arrival at the King Salman air base, the Moroccan sovereign was welcomed by Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Governor of the region of Riyadh.

During this visit, the King is accompanied by a large delegation made up of the King’s Advisers, Taieb Fassi Fihri, Fouad Ali El Himma, Yassir Znagui and Abdeltif Menouni, Chargé d’affaires at the Royal Office, Mohamed Kettani, Foreign Minister, Salaheddine Mezouar and Minister Delegate to the Foreign Minister, Nasser Bourita.

First of its kind, the Morocco-GCC Summit, which will be held today Wednesday in Riyadh, will fortify the strategic and multifaceted partnership between Morocco and these countries by more concrete and synergetic outputs.

It will also be an opportunity for consultation and coordination of positions to take up the challenges and threats facing the MENA exchange views on regional and international issues of common interest and develop common positions on these issues.

To remind that in 2011 a GCC proposal was advanced by Saudi Arabia to transform the GCC into a “Gulf Union” with tighter economic, political and military coordination, and expand states members of the union to include Morocco and Jordan
