Morocco will host the ninth joint ministerial meeting between the Kingdom and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a decision announced during the edition of the forum held via videoconference.
The meeting brought together Morocco's Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, GCC Secretary General Jassem Mohammed Al-Budaiwi and foreign ministers from all six Gulf member states. Gulf ministers praised the depth of bilateral relations and highlighted Morocco's sustained efforts, under King Mohammed VI's leadership, to strengthen Arab solidarity.
The decision to host the ninth session in Morocco was framed as a direct expression of Gulf confidence in the Kingdom's leadership, a recognition of Rabat's expanding diplomatic influence and its increasingly central role in Arab affairs.
The Morocco-GCC relationship has grown considerably in recent years, spanning investment, energy, food security and diplomatic coordination.
Hosting the upcoming ministerial round signals a further institutionalization of that partnership, with both sides committed to sustained dialogue on shared regional and international concerns.
No date or venue for the meeting has yet been officially announced.
