India-Morocco Cooperation: the Foundations for an Indo-Atlantic Strategic Partnership
By : Kheya Bhattacharya
Page No: 190-199
Abstract
Morocco is located at the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Inhabited by followers of Islam, Christianity and Judaism followers, Morocco has set an example of social stability and harmony. In this essay, I have endeavoured to establish the geo-strategic importance of Morocco, the role it has played in combating international terrorism and countering radicalism as well as the opportunities it offers in other diverse areas. Further, the evolving strategic partnership between India and Morocco through cooperation and collaboration in Food Security, Health, Defence, and Security (including through the participation of the private sector), Culture, and Defence Cooperation — (through capacity building) — has been analysed at length.
