The depth of Saudi-Moroccan relations
These messages reflect the deep-rooted historical and fraternal relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the sisterly Kingdom of Morocco. The Saudi leadership has consistently stood by Morocco in various circumstances and crises, demonstrating the profound strategic ties between the two countries and their brotherly peoples. Relations between Riyadh and Rabat are characterized by continuous coordination and unwavering solidarity in times of both prosperity and adversity, as the security and well-being of Morocco are integral to the Saudi leadership's priorities.
Arab solidarity in the face of natural disasters
This noble gesture from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince embodies the values of Arab and Islamic solidarity, especially during times of hardship and natural disasters. Many countries around the world, including those in North Africa, are facing increasing climate challenges that sometimes lead to torrential rains and devastating floods, impacting infrastructure and public safety. The city of Safi, located on the Atlantic coast, is one of the ancient cities that receives considerable attention, and such messages of solidarity help alleviate the suffering of the victims' families and bolster the morale of the brotherly Moroccan people as they overcome the effects of these floods.
