Moroccan Ambassador to Mauritania, Hamid Chabar, recently met with Mohamed Abdullah Lahbib, president of the High Authority for Press and Audiovisual (HAPA), a Mauritanian government institution. According to an official source cited by Anbaa, their discussions focused on «the challenges and opportunities facing the media in the digital age, as well as ways to strengthen the partnership between the regulatory bodies of the two brotherly countries». They also explored prospects for diversifying and expanding collaboration in areas such as oversight, regulation, and training. This meeting aligns with Morocco and Mauritania's commitment to deepening bilateral relations, as reaffirmed during the December 20, 2024, meeting in Casablanca between King Mohammed VI and President Ould El Ghazouani, where both leaders agreed to accelerate the implementation of previously signed agreements. Notably, a partnership agreement was signed on January 17, 2024, in Nouakchott between Mauritania's High Authority for Press and Audiovisual and Morocco's High Authority for Audiovisual Communication.
