"It is a pleasure for me to renew contact with Your Majesty to convey to You My thanks and sincere feelings of gratitude for Your honorable person, reiterating Our deep pride in the bonds of brotherhood and sincere friendship that bind Us personally as well as Our two Royal Families and Our two brotherly peoples," the royal message stressed.

"I have learned with great consideration and gratitude the position you have expressed along with My brothers Their Majesties and Highnesses, Heads of State of the Gulf countries, firmly and unequivocally supporting the Moroccanness of the Sahara and the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco, during the 42nd session of the Supreme Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), held in the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," the royal message added.

The Sovereign affirmed that "This is a genuine position illustrating Your country's commitment to solid fraternal solidarity at all levels with Your second country, Morocco, which always considers the stability and security of the Gulf countries as an integral part of its stability and security, being deeply convinced of Our community of destiny and the convergence of views vis-à-vis the various issues of common interest, as I affirmed before Your Majesty on the occasion of the Morocco-GCC Summit in Riyadh on 20 April 2016."

While renewing His sincere feelings of thanks and gratitude, His Majesty the King implored God to preserve the Sovereign of Bahrain and grant him good health, happiness and long life and to crown with success his efforts to achieve the aspirations of the brotherly Bahraini people for more progress and prosperity.
