Ethiopia, Morocco Establish Joint Military Commission, Sign Defense Cooperation Agreement

Ethiopia and Morocco have signed a new military cooperation agreement aimed at consolidating defense ties through joint training, exercises, scientific research, and military health programs. The agreement, signed on Tuesday, 17 June in Rabat, also establishes a joint military commission to oversee its implementation…This latest development marks a growing defense cooperation between the two countries, building on momentum from earlier high-level exchanges. In April, Ethiopia hosted General Berrid and a Moroccan delegation for a four-day visit, which included talks with Ethiopia’s Chief of General Staff, Field Marshal Birhanu Jula, and tours of key military installations. During that visit, both sides expressed shared interest in expanding cooperation to include cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and defense industry development. (Addis Standard)
