Addis Ababa, May 20, 2024 (FBC) – Ambassador Mesganu Arga, the State Minister of Foreign Affairs, welcomed in his office today, a delegation led by Ambassador Fouad Yazourh, Director General of Bilateral Relations at the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The two sides engaged in consultations on avenues to further strengthen the cooperative relations between Ethiopia and Morocco.

Beyond their bilateral agenda, the two delegations also exchanged views on areas of potential collaboration on continental and international affairs.
Recalling the previous high-level visits by the two nations as a testament to their robust relationship, the delegations also explored opportunities and domains where stakeholders from both countries can work to translate prior agreements reached during those high-level exchanges into tangible action, as well as ways for the private sector to contribute to the reinforcement of the bilateral ties.
