Morocco To Support UAE’s Fight Against Terrorism

In accordance with the directives of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco has pledged its “active support” to the United Arab Emirates’s fight against terrorism and the preservation of regional and international peace and stability, said Tuesday a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

 

This action, part of the tradition of successful partnership and strong solidarity between the two brotherly countries, reinforces a historic and multifaceted military and security cooperation with Gulf States.

 

It supports and complements the other measures taken in Morocco to preserve the security and tranquility of Moroccan citizens against the threat of international terrorism. 

 

The contribution of the kingdom will focus on military operational and intelligence aspects.

 

In addition to its recognized international humanitarian operations and peacekeeping commitment, the Kingdom of Morocco has participated in several military operations to defend national security and territorial integrity of brotherly and friendly countries, including in Zaire (now DRC), Golan Heights, and Saudi Arabia in 1990 following the invasion of Kuwait.

 

Similarly, hundreds of Moroccan soldiers had, over several decades, been deployed to the UAE as part of their contributions to training and security of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

 

This action, part of the tradition of successful partnership and strong solidarity between the two brotherly countries, reinforces a historic and multifaceted military and security cooperation with Gulf States.
