Strong and historic relations between Bahrain and Morocco were hailed as His Majesty King Hamad held talks with King Mohammed VI at Al Bustan Palace last night where the two monarchs also discussed current Arab and regional issues, extending their support to peace efforts.
Earlier, His Majesty ordered one of Seef's main streets to be named after the Moroccan monarch in appreciation "of his constant efforts, outstanding role and unflinching keenness to reinforce and consolidate bilateral relations".
Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs, Central Informatics Organisation head and acting Municipality Affairs and Agriculture Minister Shaikh Ahmed bin Atiyatallah Al Khalifa unveiled the plaque. Present were Capital Governor Shaikh Humood bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, Capital Municipal Council chairman Mohammed Badr, works and housing under-secretary Naif Al Kilani, Bahrain's Ambassador to Rabat Shaikh Khalid bin Salman Al Khalifa and Morocco's Ambassador to Bahrain Yazeed Al Qadiri.
"King Mohammed VI Avenue is one of the important streets in Bahrain, situated at the heart of the modern, throbbing Seef area which houses big firms, banks and financial establishments in addition to the largest departmental malls in the country," said a BNA statement.
The monarch's visit reflects the strong ties bonding the two nations, it added.
The signing of economic, investment, cultural and media agreements will further bolster these ties which have been distinguished since the era of the late Amir Shaikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa and the late Moroccan monarch King Hassan.
His Majesty's visit to Morocco last August during which he held key talks with King Mohammed VI and Prime Minister Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa's visit last March helped strengthen the relations.
HM King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa was at the airport on Friday to bid good bye to the Moroccan Monarch, King Mohammed VI, on departure from Bahrain, following a brotherly visit to the Kingdom.

Ha! Then I will try to do a good job of being a reporter!
No... I can't see Moroccan TV from here and in Fes I have decided not to have a TV at all... just a DVD player for watching movies.
No... I bring my DVDs from Australia.
