The Spanish Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, praised, Monday, the "excellent coordination" between his country and Morocco in the framework of the "Marhaba 2024" operation to welcome Moroccans residing abroad.
In statements to the press during his visit to the Port of Algeciras, Mr. Grande-Marlaska said that Morocco and Spain have provided significant means and mobilized all the human resources involved in this operation to ensure its smooth running.
The Spanish minister pointed out that all the teams mobilized for this purpose are doing "an exceptional job to ensure the continued success of this operation."
He noted that the excellent coordination between the Moroccan and Spanish authorities will undoubtedly allow for the best possible management of the "record numbers" of travelers and vehicles expected during this operation.
