Morocco is expanding its network of military attachés and their deputies stationed at the Kingdom's embassies. According to the Official Bulletin dated June 9, the latest appointments involve Moroccan diplomatic missions in Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, Argentina, and Pakistan. As a reminder, during the Ministerial Council chaired by King Mohammed VI on May 12, a decree was adopted concerning the status of military attachés, their deputies, and other military personnel. The inclusion of three African nations highlights the strong political and economic ties Morocco shares with these countries. The military expertise of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) is especially valued across the continent. Institutionalized cooperation with the Ethiopian and Nigerian armed forces, through exchange visits and training programs hosted in Morocco, serves as a model for similar partnerships with other African states. In the case of Pakistan, Rabat and Islamabad are reportedly preparing to sign a military cooperation agreement that could include the local production of Pakistani weapons in Morocco. As for Argentina, considered, like Brazil, a regional military power, the presence of a FAR attaché in Buenos Aires aligns with Morocco's strategy to diversify its international defense partnerships and suppliers. Morocco had previously appointed military attachés to its embassies in India and Turkey during the Ministerial Council held on July 14, 2022.
