Rabat - Minister delegate for foreign affairs Mbarka Bouaida summoned, on Friday at the ministry's headquarters, France's ambassador in Rabat Charles Fries to express Morocco's strong protest following information about a complaint lodged against the Director General of Territory Surveillance (DGST) concerning an alleged torture complicity in Morocco.
A statement by the foreign affairs ministry said that Bouaida affirmed that Morocco flatly rejects the cavalier procedure that runs counter diplomatic usages and the baseless judiciary cases that were cited.
The minister delegate said that this grave, unprecedented incident in relations between the two countries is likely to undermine the climate of trust and mutual respect which has always prevailed between Morocco and France.
The Kingdom of Morocco insists on providing urgent and accurate explanations for this unacceptable step and holding those responsible accountable.
