Morocco has donated 100 tons of fertilizer to El Salvador to support the country’s agricultural development, according to an announcement made Wednesday by the government of this Central American country. Salvadoran Deputy Foreign Minister Adriana Mira and Minister of Agriculture Oscar Guardado as well as Morocco’s Deputy Chief of Mission in El Salvador, Brahim Baddi, attended a ceremony held on this occasion. Last October, El Salvador opened an embassy in Rabat, the first in the African continent. The move shows San Salvador’s strong desire to advance relations with Rabat, setting a bridge between Africa and Latin America. During his visit to the North African Kingdom, the Vice-President of El Salvador had voiced his country’s desire to strengthen cooperation ties with Morocco, especially in the fields of agriculture, fishing, renewable energies and security.
