Marta Lucia Ramirez Blanco, Colombia’s Vice-President, Minister of Foreign Affairs, will visit Morocco next week for four days, meeting with Prime Minister Mr. Aziz Akhannouch and Foreign Minister Mr. Nasser Bourita.

Colombia’s support for a practical self autonomy proposal is likely to be reaffirmed, and the country might become the first Latin American country to open a diplomatic mission in Moroccan Sahara.

Morocco and Colombia’s already strong ties were bolstered by the signing of a number of bilateral agreements and memorandums of understanding.

Furthermore, Farida Loudaya, the Moroccan ambassador to Colombia met yesterday César Ortiz Zorro, a Colombian congressman and parliamentarian, and Eduardo Chiliquinga Mazón, the secretary general of the Andean Parliament.

During the meeting, inter-institutional cooperation issues were discussed, as well as the reactivation of joint activities with the Moroccan Parliament, given its importance as one of the Andean Parliament’s observer countries (along with Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru), according to the Moroccan Embassy.
