The joint participation of the two ambassadors in this activity is, according to the same source, “of paramount importance given the progress that has been made in strengthening relations and cooperation between the two countries,” particularly in environmental issues.
On this occasion, the Moroccan ambassador welcomed his participation alongside his Israeli counterpart in this reforestation project in Mexico City, adding that this initiative “contributes to strengthening the friendship and cooperation between the three countries in the fight against climate change”.
