These countries' stand was expressed by top officials at meetings with Morocco's non-resident ambassador to Mexico, Youssef Amrani, who toured them at the end of his diplomatic assignment.

The Latin-American officials also voiced admiration at the kingdom's efforts, under the leadership of King Mohammed VI.

In his farewell tour, Amrani met the president and vice-foreign minister of Nicaragua, the minister of foreign affairs and culture of Costa Rica, Salvador's deputy-foreign minister, the foreign ministers of Guatemala and Honduras and secretary general of the System of Central American Integration (SICA).
