Prague – The Czech Republic on Monday reaffirmed its commitment to ‘close relations’ with Morocco in all areas of the partnership between the Kingdom and the European Union (EU).

Recalling the joint statement issued by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and EU High Representative Josep Borrell, following the decision of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on the fisheries and agricultural agreements between the EU and Morocco, the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed on its official X account that Prague ‘confirms and underlines its commitment to close relations with Morocco in all areas of the Morocco-EU partnership.’
