Buhari receives Grand Khalifa of Morocco



President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday received Sharif Muhammad Kabir Ibn Muhammad of Morocco, the Grand Khalifa of Sheikh Ahmad Tijani ahead f the visit of King.
Buhari has been expecting the visit of the King which is meant to cement relations and spur bilateral agreements in various areas.

Buhari had visited Morocco for the Climate Conference, COP22 where he said: “I arrived in Morocco amid a warm welcome and tomorrow I will give Nigeria’s speech at the COP22 high-level segment.”
The King will visit Nigeria on Thursday as part of efforts to  enhance  bilateral cooperation between the two countries, especially regarding the sectors of agriculture and solar energy.
Besides the economic aspect of the planned visit, Morocco will seek to prompt Nigeria to reconsider its stance on the Western Sahara.

Nigeria has been a vocal supporter of the Polisario, and is regarded as belonging to the axis Algeria-Abuja-Pretoria. Nigeria recognizes the self-proclaimed Sarahawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR).
Morocco World News reported earlier this year that Sokoto State in Nigeria revealed “a new agriculture and solar energy collaboration between Rabat and Abuja.
“Morocco has distinguished itself in some critical sectors, as such a relationship between the two states will be of utmost importance to the two parties.”

In the same context, Minister Delegate of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, met with Muhammadu Buhari on July 15, 2016 to discuss the opening of an OCP fertilizer factory in Nigeria.
Following the formal request of the King during the 27th Summit of the African Union (AU) held last July in Kigali, Rwanda to rejoin the AU, the King’s visit will give a fresh impetus to regain its natural seat in the pan-African organization following Morocco’s withdrawal from it in 1984. That decision was fueled by the AU’s decision to accept the self-proclaimed SADR as a full-fledged member state.

King Mohammed VI arrived Saturday evening in Madagascar’s capital of Antananarivo, aiming to consolidate South-South partnership and embark on bilateral cooperation underpinned by ground breaking economic projects.
The King is set to take part in the 16th summit of the Francophonie, which will take place November 22-27 in Antananarivo.
