The King of Morocco, Mohammed VI, has invited the President of Algeria, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to come to the Kingdom "to dialogue" after the monarch decided not to attend the Arab League Summit in Algiers, which was attended by other important political leaders.

Nasser Bourita, Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, made this invitation from the Alaouite monarch public after his non-attendance in Algiers. For some time now, Mohammed VI has been reaching out to Algeria to resolve the political differences between the two Maghreb neighbors.  

The scenario of rivalry between Morocco and Algeria is greatly exacerbated by tensions between the two nations, especially following the break in diplomatic relations that Algiers marked in 2021 after denouncing 'hostile acts' by Morocco. Underlying all this, however, is the fact that there are deep differences and confrontation over crucial issues such as Western Sahara.
