Aperçu

Italy's diplomatic presence in Morocco celebrates two centuries of bilateral relations, marking in 2025 the bicentennial of formal ties established in 1825 between the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Morocco. This enduring partnership has evolved into what both nations describe as a multidimensional strategic relationship, formalized through a declaration signed in Rabat on November 1, 2019. The embassy coordinates Italy's engagement across Morocco while maintaining consular jurisdiction specifically over the capital region of Rabat-Salé and nearby provinces, with the Consulate General in Casablanca handling services for the remainder of the country including major destinations like Marrakech, Fez, Tangier, and Agadir.
