In a statement, the ministry stressed that the two posts that were inaugurated in October 2020 are being manned by a team of Zambian Diplomats.

"The Ministry wishes to take this opportunity to advise that, in order to maximise the benefits of the two missions, Public access and the staffing levels at both the Mission in Rabat and the Consulate in Laayoune will enhanced once the Covid 19 pandemic has subsided," the ministry noted, adding that “among the Morocco Mission’s duties will be to oversee the welfare of over 300 Zambian students who are currently studying in various parts of Morocco”.

The same source underlined that “any contrary information, regarding the status of the two diplomatic outposts should therefore be treated as false”.
