Since Morocco's independence in 1956, British-Moroccan relations have once again grown steadily in importance. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visited Morocco in October 1980, and His late Majesty King Hassan II paid a return visit to London in July 1987. His Royal Highness Prince Charles has visited Morocco on several occasions, most recently in 1999, to attend the funeral of the late King. With the beginning of the 21st Century, there is a new strength and impetus to our relations. Trade has tripled in the past ten years.
Investment is on the increase.
More and more British people come to Morocco every year. The range and depth of bilateral contacts is developing at a faster pace.
