Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Péter Szijjártó, visited Morocco to deepen bilateral cooperation and discuss shared global challenges. Speaking in Rabat alongside his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita, Minister Szijjártó emphasized their nations’ alignment on sovereignty, economic collaboration, and peace advocacy.
Both Hungary and Morocco pride themselves on being patriotic, sovereign states that reject external pressures, the Hungarian Foreign Minister said. He highlighted their mutual respect and shared commitment to national independence, noting, “Morocco and Hungary are two countries whose leaders stand on the ground of sovereignty and mutual respect.”
This alignment has also fostered economic growth, with Morocco becoming Hungary’s top African trading partner in 2022.
Bilateral trade reached EUR 400M, a fivefold increase since 2010. Hungarian firms in food, health, and water sectors are thriving in Morocco, and Hungary is positioning itself as a strategic partner in Morocco’s nuclear program.
Addressing global challenges, Mr. Szijjártó warned of escalating risks in the Ukraine war, calling for peace efforts.
We, Morocco and Hungary, are proud to be part of the global majority for peace,” he stated.
He criticized pro-war forces and noted the war’s devastating economic effects on Europe and Africa, including rising inflation and energy prices. On migration, he praised Morocco’s efforts to curb illegal migration and terrorism, criticizing Brussels’ policies as “extremely dangerous” and advocating for African development to address root causes.
Education and cultural exchange also featured prominently, with Hungary offering scholarships to 165 Moroccan students annually, drawing 1,806 applicants this year. This robust interest underscores the program’s success and strengthens bilateral ties.
The ministerial visit reaffirmed Hungary and Morocco’s shared vision for sovereignty, economic growth, and global stability, with Péter Szijjártó highlighting their alignment on almost all global challenges.
