Philippine was killed by an illegal Moroccan migrant who was due to be deported to Morocco (after being convicted of rape), but Morocco refused to take him back.
The same week he was released, he reoffended, raping again and killing Philippine.
Morocco is a close, reliable, and strategic partner for the European Union. It was a pleasure to meet with Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita in Rabat.
The EU is Moroccoβs largest trading partner and biggest foreign investor.
This foundation of our partnership is already very solid. But weβll make it even stronger, including in areas such as maritime security and resilience against hybrid threats.
