Morocco and the European Union (EU) launched, Thursday in Brussels, the 'Euro-Moroccan partnership for shared prosperity'. In a joint political declaration adopted at the end of the fourteenth meeting of the Morocco-EU Association Council, the two sides voice their wish «to give a new impetus to their strategic, multidimensional and privileged relationship, an impetus consistent with their mutual expectations and the challenges of today's world, by developing a true 'Euro-Moroccan partnership for shared prosperity'». This partnership aims at further deepening bilateral relations, on the basis of common ambitions and the development of each one of the parties; it will also aim at strengthening regional and Euro-African cooperation and supporting effective multilateralism, it said. In line with this objective, the European Union and Morocco will work to define a new framework for relations, one that is comprehensive and resilient, according to the same source. The 14th meeting of the Morocco-European Union Association Council was chaired by minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Nasser Bourita, and the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini.
