King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain will pay an official visit to the Kingdom of Morocco on Feb. 13-14, 2019, at the invitation of King Mohammed VI, the ministry of royal household, protocol and chancellery announced on Monday in a statement.
On this occasion, the King will hold official talks with his distinguished guest. The two sovereigns will preside over the signing of agreements between the two countries.
The King will offer, at the Rabat royal palace, an official dinner in honor of the monarchs of the Kingdom of Spain and the delegation accompanying them.
This visit mirrors the depth and quality of bilateral ties, thanks to the shared will to foster the multidimensional strategic partnership uniting the two neighboring and friendly countries.
King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia have postponed their visit several times since July 2014, when the Spanish royal couple flew to Morocco for their first international tour.
The Spanish Royal Palace ranked the Morocco visit among the «priorities» of the King of Spain after he ascended the throne, but the political blockade following the 2015 general elections and the crisis in Catalonia had forced the Palace to postpone it.
Scheduled for November 2017, the visit was once again delayed due to the decision of King Mohammed VI to attend the European Union and the African Union Summit, which was held in Côte d'Ivoire. In January 2018, Morocco canceled the visit of the Spanish monarch without giving further explanations.
