Germany asks for an «explanation» following Moroccan ambassador’s recall

Germany has reacted to the summoning of Morocco’s ambassador to Germany for consultation. An official from the German Foreign Ministry told Reuters, Thursday, that Germany «was not informed in advance about the ambassador’s recall», adding that «it could not understand the accusations in the communique from the Moroccan ministry and had asked for an explanation».

«We are all the more surprised by this measure because we are making constructive efforts with the Moroccan side to resolve the crisis», said the ministry official.

The Moroccan Foreign Ministry announced earlier today, May 6, that it had recalled its ambassador to Germany Zohour Alaoui for consultation.
