Morocco, Spain resolved to draw benefit of geographic proximity, Moroccan premier

Morocco and Spain are resolved to build on their geographic proximity to develop economic ties, said on Wednesday Moroccan premier Driss Jettou, at a joint press conference with visiting president of the autonomous government of Andalusia (southern Spain), Manuel Chaves.

The premier, who described Morocco-Spain relations as "excellent," noted that they have positively evolved in the recent years, following the visit to Morocco of King Juan Carlos and the visit paid to Spain by King Mohammed VI to attend a ceremony held in the memory of the 192 victims of the Madrid attacks (March 2004).
