Senegal's Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko concluded a working visit to Morocco in August 2026, aimed at deepening economic and diplomatic ties between the two nations. The visit underscored the growing partnership in trade, agriculture, and consular services for the Senegalese community in Morocco.
During his stay, Sonko met with Moroccan officials to discuss enhancing bilateral trade, which has seen steady growth in recent years. The two countries have historically maintained strong relations, with cooperation in sectors such as phosphates, infrastructure, and renewable energy.
A key focus of the visit was the welfare of the Senegalese diaspora in Morocco. Sonko announced plans to improve consular services and facilitate investment opportunities for Senegalese nationals living abroad, aligning with his government's broader engagement with its diaspora.
The visit also touched on regional security and stability, with both leaders reaffirming their commitment to African unity and cooperation. The outcomes are expected to be formalized in upcoming agreements, strengthening the partnership between Dakar and Rabat.
