Recently, the Moroccan Ambassador to Mauritania, Hamid Chabar, engaged in discussions with Mohamed Abdullah Lahbib, the president of Mauritania’s High Authority for Press and Audiovisual (HAPA). Their talks primarily revolved around the challenges and opportunities that media faces in the digital age, along with methods to enhance the partnership between the regulatory bodies of both nations.

In addition, they deliberated on avenues for diversifying and expanding collaboration in critical areas, such as oversight, regulation, and training. This initiative is indicative of both Morocco and Mauritania’s ongoing commitment to fortifying their bilateral relations, a sentiment underscored during a meeting held on December 20, 2024, in Casablanca between King Mohammed VI and President Ould El Ghazouani.

During that meeting, the leaders agreed to expedite the implementation of agreements that had previously been established. Furthermore, on January 17, 2024, a significant partnership agreement was formalized in Nouakchott, which was signed by Mauritania’s HAPA and Morocco’s High Authority for Audiovisual Communication, further solidifying their cooperative efforts.

The recent meeting between the Moroccan Ambassador and the president of HAPA signifies a strategic move towards enhancing media collaboration between Morocco and Mauritania. By addressing the challenges posed by the digital age and reinforcing regulatory partnerships, both nations are poised to benefit from expanded cooperation and the successful implementation of previous agreements.
