Rabat – The Director General of National Security and Territory Surveillance Abdellatif Hammouchi received, Tuesday in Rabat, Christopher Wray, Director of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, who is on a working visit to Morocco leading a high-level delegation, said a statement from the Directorate General of Territory Surveillance (DGST).
This working visit is the second of its kind under the joint action program between the two parties, following a first trip by the Director General of National Security and Territory Surveillance to the United States of America in June 2022, during which he met with the director of U.S. intelligence services, the president of the Central Intelligence Agency, and the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The statement read: “This new meeting was an opportunity for both parties to review the bilateral cooperation relations distinguished between the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Directorate General of National Security and Territory Surveillance, on the one hand, and exchange about emerging threats and security challenges relating to various phenomena related to transnational crime.
Hammouchi and his counterpart  discussed ways to strengthen operational cooperation in the fight against threats posed by chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, as well as ways to broaden the scope of their distinguished bilateral counterterrorism collaboration to include the Sahel-Saharan region. During these talks, the two sides also discussed ways to combat the movement of terrorist organizations’ fighters through border crossings and promote the exchange of information about these fighters.
The same source continued, “This new visit reflects the level of advanced bilateral cooperation between the Moroccan security services and law enforcement agencies in the United States as an extension of the deep strategic cooperation linking the two countries in several areas. This cooperation is based on a common commitment to strengthen and develop it in the service of security and regional and international stability.”
