Moroccan Foreign Minister Salaheddine Mezouar on Saturday met with Chargé d'affaires of Nigerian embassy in Rabat to inform him of reasons behind King Mohammed VI rejection to hold phone call with Nigerian president.
In a statement late Saturday, the foreign ministry said that the request by Nigerian authorities for a phone conversation between King Mohammed VI and the Nigerian President was refused by the Monarch who deemed it inappropriate on grounds of the upcoming elections in Nigeria.
The Nigerian authorities' request for the phone conversation and sending a Nigerian envoy to the Kingdom is more akin to an attempt to gain Muslim votes than a normal diplomatic act, added the statement.
