Morocco and Mauritania held their fifth Joint Military Commission session, focusing on defense cooperation, border security, and regional stability. The meeting involved high-level discussions aimed at tackling shared challenges, showcasing their longstanding military partnership. Both nations continue to prioritize collaboration to reinforce security measures and address cross-border issues effectively.
Morocco and Mauritania convened for the fifth session of their Joint Military Commission in Rabat, reinforcing their commitment to defense cooperation since the initiative’s inception in January 2020. This annual meeting seeks to enhance regional security through collaboration on key issues.
During the session, General Mohammed Berrid, Morocco’s Inspector General of the Armed Forces, engaged with Mauritania’s Chief of Staff Mokhtar Bolle Chaabane to address border security, migration management, and the combatting of cross-border crime. These discussions are vital for achieving stability and addressing shared obstacles in the region.
Additionally, the Mauritanian delegation held discussions with Abdellatif Loudiyi, Morocco’s national defense administration minister, to emphasize both nations’ commitment to collaborative security measures. While military ties date back to 1971, a formal collaboration framework was established in 2006, leading to the formation of the Joint Military Commission.
This recent session demonstrates a consistent focus on border control and joint security initiatives, showcasing the deepening relationship between the two countries. In November, General Berrid met Mauritania’s Minister of Defense, Hanena Ould Sidi, in Marrakech to further explore military collaboration, solidifying their long-standing partnership against regional security threats.
The recent Joint Military Commission session between Morocco and Mauritania highlights the two nations’ renewed commitment to enhancing defense cooperation, particularly regarding border security and regional stability. Through continued dialogue and partnership, both countries aim to address shared challenges and reinforce their military ties established decades ago. This collaborative effort underscores the significance of sustained engagement in maintaining security in the region.
