US Secretary of State John Kerry welcomed Moroccan Foreign Minister Salaheddine Mezouar on Thursday where he thanked Morocco for its efforts to bring peace to Libya and counter terrorism.
“Morocco is a non-NATO ally, but a very important ally in any number of initiatives right now, deeply engaged in leading efforts to bring about peace in Libya — in an effort to try to see a government emerge in Libya and be able to return to Tripoli and begin to unite that country,” said Kerry at a joint press conference with Mezouar before their meeting.
“They (Morocco) are a partner in efforts to counter terrorism and also to build stability in the region as a whole,” he added.
For his part Mezouar said: “We share the same ambitions for peace, stability, prosperity, democracy – those values, those human values, and the values of equality.” He noted that there is “perfect cooperation which exists between us in terms of security, in terms of fight against terrorism, in terms of eradication of that which represents the fundamentals of terrorism.” (end) ak.gb
