Morocco and Cape Verde will strengthen their relations in the area of justice, Moroccan authorities announced today, following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between representatives of the two governments on Thursday in Rabat.
“The signing of the memorandum represents an important milestone in building a solid and ambitious partnership between Morocco and Cape Verde, particularly in the field of judicial governance,” said Moroccan Minister of Justice Abdellatif Ouahbi.
The document was signed by Cape Verde’s Minister of Justice, Joana Rosa, during a visit to Morocco, where she expressed her intention to “make the most” of Morocco’s experience.
In addition to training initiatives and exchanges, the memorandum includes actions to combat transnational crime, promote access to justice, and digitize the judicial system.
Morocco frames the memorandum as part of its efforts to strengthen “South-South” cooperation within the framework of its foreign policy.
The memorandum comes just days after Cape Verde’s Attorney General’s Office also signed a memorandum of understanding with its Moroccan counterpart to enhance judicial cooperation.
The two countries have been deepening ties in other areas as well.
In January, the defense ministers of both nations announced the preparation of a military cooperation agreement, reflecting their “strong friendship” and “mutual respect.”
In December, Morocco delivered three ambulances, first-aid kits, and other equipment to the Cape Verdean Armed Forces to boost their humanitarian support capabilities for the population and healthcare system.
