Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking to organise the next session of the Association Council for the UK-Morocco Association Agreement.

The most recent ministerial meeting of the UK-Morocco Association Council took place in London on 12 November and reaffirmed our commitment to deepening cooperation on trade, investment, education, renewable energy, and security, in line with the step-change in relations following June's bilateral strategic dialogue. The next meeting has not yet been scheduled, but we will confirm the details in the usual way in due course.
