India and Morocco strengthen military cooperation

Rajnath Singh, who is currently in Morocco, took to social media platform X to announce the signing of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with his Moroccan counterpart, Abdeltif Loudiyi. In his post, Singh highlighted the productive discussions on enhancing collaboration in critical areas such as counter-terrorism measures, maritime security, cyber defence, and capacity development.

The agreement sets the stage for expanded and deepened bilateral defence engagements, encompassing exchanges, training programs, and industrial collaborations. Singh emphasized that India's ties with Morocco have been steadily strengthening over the years, with both sides focusing on intensifying cooperation in key defence sectors.

The relationship between India and Morocco has seen significant growth since King Mohammed VI's meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015. The recent MoU is a testament to the enduring momentum in their bilateral relations, particularly in the defence domain.
