Morocco and Ethiopia have agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the religious domain, focusing on promoting interfaith dialogue and combating extremism. The agreement was discussed during a meeting between King Mohammed VI of Morocco and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in Addis Ababa in early 2026.
The discussions emphasized the role of religious leaders in fostering peace and mutual understanding, building on Morocco's established model of managing religious affairs. Both nations recognized the importance of shared values in addressing regional stability.
This diplomatic engagement is part of a broader effort to deepen ties between the two countries, which have seen increased high-level visits and agreements on economic and security matters in recent years. The cooperation aims to leverage moderate religious discourse as a tool for social cohesion.
