Announced in Dakar last February, the King of Morocco Mohamed VI will finally visit the Senegalese capital tomorrow Tuesday, March 14 for a visit of friendship and work, reports Les Echos.
Recall that Mouhamed VI had cancelled his official visit to Dakar on the grounds that he contracted a flu. The health of the Alawite monarch is closely monitored by Moroccans and beyond the kingdom’s borders. It tested positive for Covid-19 in an asymptomatic form last June.
A year before, he underwent heart surgery at the Royal Palace Clinic in Rabat, after a first surgery in January 2018 in Paris. Mohammed VI has ruled Morocco since July 1999, when he succeeded his father, Hassan II.
Note that this is his 9th visit to the country of Teranga. Regional but also continental issues will be on the menu of the meeting between the sovereign of Morocco and the Senegalese head of state.
The two personalities will also discuss the development of bilateral relations between Morocco and Senegal. They will preside over the signing of numerous agreements covering various areas of cooperation between the two countries. Two projects financed by Morocco will also be inaugurated: the fishing village of Dakhla and a vocational training centre in Diamniadio.
