Laayoune: Moroccan House of Councilors Speaker Mohamed Ould Errachid met with Chilean Senate President Manuel Jos© Ossand³n on Thursday in Laayoune, discussing bilateral ties and regional cooperation, the House of Councilors said in a press release.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, Ould Errachid hailed the strong relations between Morocco and Chile, highlighting the momentum generated by HM King Mohammed VI’s 2004 visit to Chile, which helped position bilateral ties as a model of South-South cooperation.

He described Ossand³n’s visit to Laayoune, coinciding with a delegation from the Andean Parliament, as highly symbolic.
