In his speech during the signing ceremony, the Moroccan Minister of Justice emphasized that this step reflects the desire of both nations to bolster their fraternal and historical ties, and that signing these agreements contributes to the development of the judicial system and serves justice and development in both countries. For his part, the Jordanian minister affirmed that this cooperation is part of both countries’ efforts to deepen mutual bonds and build strong and sustainable legal and judicial partnerships.
These agreements represent a significant milestone in the ongoing cooperation between Morocco and Jordan, opening broad horizons for further coordination between the judicial authorities in both nations, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of crime fighting and solidifying justice in the region.
