Morocco has significantly bolstered its international engagement, having concluded nearly 7,500 international agreements to date, with around 800 focused specifically on economic cooperation. The majority of these treaties—almost two-thirds—have been signed during the reign of King Mohammed VI, Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita announced on Monday.
Speaking before the House of Representatives in Rabat during an oral question session, Minister Bourita described the treaty framework as a cornerstone of Morocco’s foreign policy. He stressed that the true value of these agreements lies not only in their signing but also in their implementation, in line with the directives of the monarch.
In response to a query from the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), Bourita noted that Morocco’s international agreements span a wide range of sectors. Their monitoring, he added, is ensured through mechanisms such as joint commissions formed with partner nations, which help translate commitments into tangible action.
He also highlighted the pivotal role of Morocco’s diplomatic missions abroad, revealing that ambassadors have been instructed to prioritize the support and promotion of treaty frameworks as a key element of their responsibilities. “This is vital for ensuring the credibility and effectiveness of our diplomatic engagement,” Bourita said.
The minister further pointed out that the 800 active economic treaties currently in force are opening up substantial opportunities for trade and investment. These agreements, he noted, serve as powerful tools to enhance Morocco’s bilateral ties and reinforce its expanding economic diplomacy on both the continental and global stage.
