Initialed by Moroccan and Colombian Foreign Ministers, the first agreement on air services aims to gradually implement the reciprocal opening of air markets of both countries and includes provisions on granting traffic rights, operating licenses for airlines, fees and customs duties, commercial representation of companies, tariffs, and revenue transfers.

The second agreement provides for waiving the visa requirement for short stays (90 days) for nationals holding ordinary and diplomatic passports. Two memoranda of understanding were signed on the occasion.

The second MoU, signed by Ambassador-Director of the Moroccan Agency for International Cooperation (AMCI) Mohamed Methqal and the head of the Presidential Agency for International Cooperation of Colombia (APC-COLOMBIA) Ángela Ospina de Nicholls, aims to establish a cooperative relationship between the two countries' cooperation agencies in the context of South-South cooperation.
