Sierra Leone and
Morocco and Sierra Leone have taken a significant step toward deepening their diplomatic and economic partnership with the signing of a joint communiqué and a three-year Cooperation Roadmap for 2027–2029, targeting expanded collaboration in agriculture, mining, water management, fisheries and the blue economy.
The agreements were signed on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, in Rabat by Sierra Leone’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Mohamed Rahman Swaray, and Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Living Abroad, Nasser Bourita. The signing, held at Morocco’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reflects a shared determination to strengthen longstanding bilateral relations and translate diplomatic commitments into practical economic opportunities.
The joint communiqué seeks to inject fresh momentum into cooperation between Freetown and Rabat, while the roadmap establishes priorities for collaboration across sectors considered essential to Sierra Leone’s economic transformation and Morocco’s expanding engagement with African partners.
During the discussions, Minister Swaray reaffirmed Sierra Leone’s support for Morocco’s territorial integrity and its autonomy proposal for the disputed Sahara region. He also highlighted the significance of Sierra Leone’s decision to establish a Consulate General in Dakhla, describing the move as an important demonstration of the country’s commitment to strengthening diplomatic relations with Morocco.
