The visit, which shows the momentum of Moroccan-American relations, comes after the United States has recognized on Dec.10 Morocco’s full sovereignty over its entire Sahara. According to the State Department, Mr. Schenker will discuss during the regional tour (January 3-12) economic and security cooperation with government leaders. He will also underscore the US deep commitment to fostering economic prosperity, peace, and stability in the Middle East and North Africa. This is not the first visit of Mr. Schenker to the Kingdom. It was an opportunity to commend Morocco for hosting inter-Libyan talks and for bringing together Libyan belligerents.
