According to statements made by Ben Coleman, who serves as the Trade Envoy for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the British administration characterized Morocco as a “reliable ally” and highlighted the critical significance of their two-way alliance.
“The government is entirely dedicated to strengthening the ties between our two nations,” Coleman asserted, commending the growing economic collaboration. He pointed out that both kingdoms have an extensive shared history spanning more than 800 years, noting that their initial trade pact was established in 1721. Coleman also emphasized the importance of leveraging this historical legacy to capitalize on new opportunities ahead.
In front of an audience comprising diplomats, government officials, and financial experts, the Trade Envoy commended the mutual economic benefits and synergies shared by both nations.

This gathering attracts over 34 publicly traded Moroccan firms and enables approximately 160 business-to-business meetings with global investors, all designed to bolster interactions within the financial sectors of these two countries.
Coleman also pointed out Morocco’s advancements, notably in infrastructure, mentioning the expansion of the high-speed railway ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup. He conveyed the United Kingdom’s interest in being part of this growth momentum, emphasizing Morocco’s pivotal position as a doorway to Western Africa.
