Morocco rejects Spain blame game, warns against using kingdom as political pawn

In a statement issued Thursday, Morocco’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates said the Kingdom had deliberately chosen to build a relationship with Spain based on good neighbourliness, political understanding, economic partnership and security cooperation.

Morocco has rejected what it describes as renewed accusations from political and media circles in Spain, insisting that its relations with Madrid should be guided by mutual respect, dialogue and cooperation.

Morocco also accused some Spanish political and media circles of exploiting the Kingdom for domestic political purposes.
