Speaking to the press following the talks, Nordio emphasized the depth of trust and mutual respect that characterizes relations between the Italian Republic and the Kingdom of Morocco. He underlined Italy’s determination to advance its “fruitful and constructive” partnership with Morocco, particularly in the field of justice.
“This meeting demonstrates the depth of friendship and strong cooperation between the two countries,” Nordio said, noting that Morocco and Italy share a long history, solid ties of friendship, and aligned strategic interests.
