In a statement to the press after his talks with MFA Nasser Bourita, Lord Tariq Ahmad said that it is time to take the distinguished relations between Morocco and the United Kingdom to the highest level.

The 300th anniversary of the signing of the first trade treaty between the two countries is an appropriate opportunity to strengthen the ambitions and raise bilateral relations to a higher level, added the British official.

This fruitful and constructive meeting with MFA Bourita was an opportunity to examine ways to strengthen relations between the two countries, he said.

The British Minister of state said that relations between the two kingdoms are based on solid foundations especially in the field of trade, sustainability, cooperation on issues of common interest, such as climate change, noting that these bases are likely to contribute to the further consolidation of these ties.

The discussions also focused on the need to improve relations between the two countries and the two peoples, particularly in education, he added.
