Morocco planes ferrying alimentary goods are set to fly to Qatar following an ordered by Morocco’s King Mohammed VI, reports Morocco World News.
The King issued an ordered for food to be delivered to Qatar according to the Kingdom’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs press statement.
The North African Kingdom’s decision to send food to the Middle East country is “in line with the teachings of our religion especially during the month of Ramadan where requites solidarity between Muslim people,” said the issued statement.
Morocco has taken a neutral stance in the gulf crisis where a number of Arab nations have cut ties with Qatar over allegations of funding terrorism. The Kingdom offered to mediate between Qatar and other Gulf countries, which severed ties with Doha last week.
Morocco is “ready to offer its good offices with a view to promote a frank and comprehensive dialogue on the basis of no-interference in internal affairs and the fight against religious extremism,” according to the statement released by the ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday at the height of the Gulf crisis.
Morocco clarified that “its decision to send food had nothing to do with the political aspects of the current crisis between Qatar and other sister states.”
“Relations between Morocco and Qatar have witnessed a steady improvement in recent years. This improvement was reflected in the number of investments Qatar has launched in Morocco,” says the report by MWN.
