That geography gives Morocco an important role in supporting secure sea lanes, regional stability and cooperation among nations facing common challenges in and around African waters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cMorocco\u2019s leadership at AMFS reflects a relationship built over nearly 250 years and sustained through trust, professional exchange and practical cooperation. That foundation allows our forces to work together on the maritime security challenges affecting North Africa and the wider region,\u201d said Maj. Gen. Daniel L. Shipley, commander of U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Europe and Africa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The U.S.-Morocco relationship carries historic weight, with a friendship that began in 1777, when Morocco became the first country to recognize the United States. Nearly 250 years later, the relationship continues through military cooperation, professional exchanges and shared efforts to address security challenges that affect regional and global stability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During AMFS 2026, Moroccan and U.S. leaders discussed how maritime security depends on capable forces, trusted relationships and coordination before a crisis occurs. The summit\u2019s interactive format provided leaders an opportunity to work through realistic scenarios, exchange lessons, and identify ways to improve cooperation beyond the summit itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Morocco\u2019s role as co-host underscored AMFS 2026\u2019s central message: maritime security is strongest when partners build trust, share responsibility, and work together toward practical solutions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By Joe Alonso , U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Europe and Africa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior leaders from U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Europe and Africa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21613,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40,1378,1494,1923,442],"tags":[1493,2687,31,32,1485,1377,1495,489,1388],"class_list":["post-21612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-maritime-security","category-morocco","category-navy","category-news","tag-africa-en","tag-daily-news","tag-maritimafrica","tag-maritime","tag-maritime-in-africa","tag-maritime-security-en","tag-morocco-en","tag-navy","tag-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
