Dutch Prime Minister to visit Morocco to discuss migration, regional security
On June 21, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte will travel to Morocco to meet with Aziz Akhannouch, the president of the Moroccan government, to address a range of issues, including migration, regional security, and multilateral cooperation.
The opportunity presented by this official visit will allow the two countries to expand their commercial connections and look for areas where they can work together to develop green hydrogen.
Rutte’s participation in a prospective business meeting aimed at promoting and encouraging green hydrogen collaboration is one of the focal elements of this upcoming visit, according to Energy News media.
The two countries will sign several agreements that are completely in line with Morocco’s objectives for its energy transition.
To emphasize the value of involving and empowering young in the search for sustainable solutions, Rutte will meet with students at the Moroccan Netherlands Institute of Rabat (NIMAR).
According to the same source, this visit fits well with the Dutch government’s energy diplomacy and its rising interest in importing hydrogen in the future.
Dutch and Moroccan ministers met earlier this year to talk about a variety of issues.
Political rapprochement between the two countries has been notable, particularly after the Netherlands declared in May 2022 that it supports Morocco’s autonomy movement.
