Freitas, está a ver ? Londres fala directo com Rabat, e nós aqui tão perto...

Em vez de procurar confusos apoios como o de Ana Gomes, não teria sido preferível que Freitas do Amaral tivesse agendado pelos canais adequados uma ida a Marrocos, aqui tão perto? A diplomacia londrina optou por falar directo, coisa que a UE neste momento poderia esperar também, ou antes, de Portugal. Há 23 anos que um chefe da diplomacia britânica não rumava a Rabat. Claro, Madrid com muita atenção...

Como o Foreign Office nos acaba de transmitir:

THE FOREIGN SECRETARY TO VISIT MOROCCO (12/02/06)

The Foreign Secretary will pay his first official visit to Morocco on Monday 13 February.

While in the Kingdom he will have an audience with HM King Mohammed VI at the Marrakech Palace. The Foreign Secretary will meet Foreign Minister Benaissa where regional and bilateral issues will be raised.

Before his visit to Morocco, the Foreign Secretary said:

'I am very much looking forward to visiting Morocco, my first and the first in 23 years by a British Foreign Secretary. My audience with His Majesty King Mohammed VI and his ministers will allow me to reinforce the already healthy bilateral relationship we enjoy. Our exchanges on a great many issues, both bilateral and regional, will allow us to further that relationship.'
