European MP calls for counter-terrorism cooperation with Morocco

Xinhua, June 4, 2016 Adjust font size:

European MP Gilles Pargneaux stressed here on Friday the necessity to reinforce counter-terrorism cooperation between the European Union (EU) and Morocco.

"As European MPs, we wish to intensify relations between the EU and Morocco in terms of the fight against terrorism," Pargneaux told the press following a meeting with Moroccan minister delegate for the interior Cherki Drais.

He insisted on the importance of the bilateral cooperation in fighting extremism and terrorism not only between Morocco and some EU member states, but also with the EU as a whole.

Morocco is a cornerstone in the counter-terrorism fight and the security in the Sahel region, he said. Endit
