Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita started his Gulf tour on 9 April with Kuwait, where he met with Deputy Emir Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Crown Prince of the Emirate and with the First Deputy PM and Minister of Defense. A joint Morocco-Kuwait commission meeting took place where Nasser Bourita signed five cooperation agreements (involving food safety, social affairs, civil service and administrative development, education and environmental protection) and where Kuwait reiterated its support for Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over the Sahara. Morocco’s FM was greeted separately in Riyadh by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Ben Salman and King Salman. In Bahrain, he met with King Hamad bin Issa Al Khalifa. On 11 April, Bourita visited Doha and was received by the Emir of Qatar Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani to whom he handed a message regarding bilateral relations and the situation in the region. A similar message was conveyed to Sultan Qaboos Bin Saïd of Oman when he arrived to Muscat. The tour is concurrent with ongoing debates at the UN Security Council on Western Sahara. On the 2 April, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres presented a report urging to renew the MINURSO mandate for another six months, which will be voted on 29 April by the Security Council.
