She underlined that the United States is”grateful for the opportunity offered to them again to support Morocco’s efforts in the fight against terrorism”.

For the US official, this agreement reflects “the exceptionally positive nature of relations in anti-terrorism assistance program with Morocco since 1986”, expressing the “enthusiasm” of the United States to start a “new phase in this partnership.”

Through its laws, Morocco has demonstrated its “commitment to strengthening the capacity of fighting terrorism both at its borders and at the regional level,” she said.
