Spain and Morocco celebrate the best moment of their bilateral relationship with a historic trade record

The relationship between Spain and Morocco is experiencing its best period in decades. This was emphasized by diplomatic and economic representatives from both countries, who celebrate not only the strengthening of political ties but also a historic milestone in trade: trade between the two nations has reached €22.9 billion, setting a new record.

This strategic alliance is based on unique human, cultural, and geographical ties. The presence of a large Moroccan community in Spain—and vice versa—has built lasting social bridges, which today translate into unprecedented institutional collaboration.

According to sources from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, cooperation has expanded to key sectors such as energy, agri-food, technology, and infrastructure, with a sustained increase in cross-investment over the past three years.

"We are at a time of mutual trust and diplomatic maturity. Morocco is a priority partner for Spain," said a senior Spanish government official. For its part, Rabat has highlighted the shared commitment to migration, border security, and sustainable development.

In addition to trade, academic and cultural exchanges have been strengthened, promoting a long-term vision of strategic neighborliness, with special attention to regional stability in North Africa and the Mediterranean.

This positive momentum, framed within a shared agenda of mutual respect and benefit, lays the foundation for a solid bilateral relationship that seeks to consolidate itself as a model in European foreign policy.
