Morocco is defined as a democratic, parliamentary and social constitutional monarchy, with a State divided into 12 administrative regions (if the territory of Western Sahara is included), currently the Head of Government is Mr. Saadeddine El Othmani.
For several years the country has maintained an active foreign policy in Africa (47 trips by the Moroccan monarch to 26 African states) in which the return to African institutions has been a central objective.
Morocco is a country characterized by political and economic stability superior to the rest of the countries in the region. During the last years it has reached very dynamic average growth rates (average close to 4% in the period 2010-2015), despite the geopolitical and economic context.
Economically, Morocco is the first destination of Spanish investment in Africa. According to data of the R.I.E. MINECO, Morocco receives more than a third of all direct Spanish investment directed to the African continent (43% of the stock of our investment in the continent, according to 2016 data).
The bilateral relations between Spain and Morocco stand out for their strength and vitality, underlined by the proximity between the two Royal Houses.
The Hon. Mr. Ricardo Díez-Hochleitner, Ambassador of Spain to Morocco, will present the current situation and the relations of the country with Spain, at a commercial and diplomatic level.
