During a press briefing following his talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates Mr. Nasser Bourita, Berendsen affirmed that his country highly appreciates the personal engagement of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, in his capacity as Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, in favor of the Palestinian cause.
"We highly praise the fruitful cooperation with Morocco during the recent session of the Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution," he continued, reiterating the commitment of the Netherlands and Morocco to this solution.
The Dutch top diplomat highlighted the remarkable progress made by Morocco under the leadership of HM the King, hailing the cutting-edge infrastructure of Morocco, as well as the major economic and investment opportunities offered by the country.
In the current global geopolitical context, Morocco is a strategic and leading partner for the Netherlands, given its close ties with West Africa, the Sahel and Gulf countries, Berendsen noted.
In this regard, he hailed the active role played by Morocco in supporting development and stability in the Sahel region.
