King Mohammed and President Fox agree to boost political dialogue and economic cooperation

Visiting king Mohammed VI of Morocco and Mexican president Vicente Fox agreed in Mexico this Friday to boost political dialogue and strengthen bilateral relations in particular in the social and economic fields.

The King's visit to Mexico-city and his talks with the Mexican president follow the meeting held, on September 24 in New York, between the two heads of state who were participating in the 58th General Assembly of the United Nations.

The two leaders also agreed to carry on further consultations on development of bilateral relations and issues of common interest.

The talks showed a convergence of views on matters related to peace, security and development, at a time when Mexico is sitting as non permanent member of the UN Security Council, and Morocco is chairing the Group 77" China.

The talks were attended by the Moroccan foreign minister Mohamed Benaissa and the diplomatic adviser of President Fox, Nathan Wolf.
