Morocco-Cote D'Ivoire, Politics, 3/8/2000

King Mohammed VI received in Rabat Tuesday minister of external relations of Cote d'Ivoire, M'boua Christophe, who arrived in Rabat Monday with a message from President Robert Guei to the king.

The envoy later on conferred with the secretary of state for foreign affairs, Taieb Fassi Fihri, on bilateral cooperation and topical international issues, mainly those of concern to Africa.

The Ivoirian official briefed his interlocutor on the evolution of the situation in Cote d'ivoire since the coming to power of president Robert Guei last September.

The envoy had told reporters upon arrival that his visit is part of the exemplary and brotherly relations that have always bound the two countries.

This two-day visit is Christophe's first to Morocco since he was appointed as the head of his country's diplomacy.

Two weeks ago, Cote d'Ivoire's minister of state in charge of security, General Lanssana Palenfo, paid a visit to Morocco and was received by King Mohammed VI. Last January, a Moroccan ministerial delegation visited Abidjan and conveyed a message from the king to President Guei.

The visit was then described by the delegation as a token of support, friendship and brotherly ties by King Mohammed VI, who grants a special importance to relations between the two countries.
