Moroccan King Mohammed VI has invited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit Morocco, the Prime Minister’s Office says.
The invitation came in a letter from the king which thanked Israel for its intention to recognize Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara.
Such a visit will “open new opportunities for strengthening the ties between our nations,” the king wrote, according to the PMO.
Netanyahu’s office says it is working to set a date soon for his first-ever visit to the nation.
