Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Minister of Defense of the UAE, went to Morocco and metering Mohammed VI at his Morocco residence.

Ouamoussi’s tweet highlighted the cordial bond between two heads, which looked like an attempt made to silence all the rumors regarding the increasing rift between the two nations.
He wrote, “His Majesty King Mohammed VI is visiting his brother, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi at his residence, after his arrival in Morocco from Berlin."
As per certain reports carried by a few international media organizations, the two nations witnessed ‘frozen diplomatic ties’ due to increasing differences over regional issues. Some reports claimed that Morocco had summoned its ambassador from the UAE over increasing disagreement.
Morocco’s government later denied the reports, labeling them as mere rumors. It claimed that the country has its own diplomatic channels to make such information public.
To clear the air of any misinformation, Moroccan foreign affairs minister, Nasser Bouritasaid, “It may happen that we do not agree on certain issues. Foreign policy is a matter of sovereignty, and in Morocco, it is also based on principles and constants.” Rabat government said that it very much holds strong and historical diplomatic relations with all its Gulf allies, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
UAE’s Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed went to Morocco after attending Berlin peace talks, held on Sunday (January 19), aiming at achieving a ceasefire and bringing peace among the warring factions of Libya.
Morocco, which was not invited for the peace conference in Germany, issued a statement condemning the country’s exclusion from the Libyan peace conference.
The statement issued on Sunday by Morocco’s ministry of foreign affairs highlighted how Rabat has always supported the peace process in Libya. It read, “Rabat played a decisive role in the conclusion of the Skhirat agreements, which are, to date, the only political framework – supported by the Security Council and accepted by all Libyan parties – for the resolution of the crisis in this brotherly Maghreb country.”
