Morocco was once home to the North African ostrich, a giant bird that shaped the country’s ecosystems while playing a key role in its trade and diplomacy, from royal gifts to Queen Victoria to a thriving feather business linking the Sahara to Europe.
In a bid to revitalize their bilateral relations, Morocco and Egypt held a High Joint Commission meeting marked by clear messages from Rabat, addressing both strategic issues and the persistent trade imbalance that continues to favor the Egyptian side.
For his first official visit outside the European Union, the Czech Republic's Foreign Minister, Petr Macinka, chose Morocco. Received this Thursday in Rabat by his counterpart Nasser Bourita, he expressed his support for the kingdom's proposal regarding the Sahara.
