Saudi Interior Minister arrives in Morocco in an official visit

Saudi Interior Minister Prince Abdul Aziz bin Saud bin Nayef arrived in Morocco on Saturday, 6th of October, on an official visit, reports the Saudi press agency.

The Saudi official was received upon his arrival by Interior Minister Abdel Wafi Laftit, and the Saudi ambassador in Morocco Walid bin Abdullah.

The official delegation accompanying the Saudi Interior Minister includes the Assistant Minister of Interior for Operations, General Security Supervisor General Saeed bin Abdullah Al Qahtani, Undersecretary of the Ministry of the Interior for Security Affairs Mohammed Bin Muhanna Al Muhanna and a number of senior officials.

Diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Morocco have been tensious for months, especially as the country did not support Morocco when bidding for the 2026 World Cup. King Salman, and unlike previous years, did not spend his summer vacation in Tangier.

Morocco, on the other hand, has remained silent after the recent crisis that occurred between Saudi Arabia and Canada, unlike most Arab countries that rushed to back Ryadh.
