Moroccan Foreign Minister Taieb Fassi Fehri held coordination talks with Jordanian leaders on Wednesday in the run-up to the two countries' planned admission to the oil-rich Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), dpa reported.
Fehri discussed with King Abdullah II the "latest developments in the Middle East, particularly the political changes in the region," a royal court statement said in reference to the uprisings in several Arab states.
The discussions also tackled means of boosting bilateral ties as well as steps being taken in preparation for the admission of Jordan and Morocco to the GCC.
Fehri and his Jordanian counterpart, Nasser Judeh, on Sunday met in Jeddah with the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Oman to try work out a roadmap for the admission of Jordan and Morocco to the Arab political bloc in response to an offer made in May by the GCC leaders.
The Moroccan foreign minister was briefed during his meetings with the monarch and Judeh on the political reforms adopted by Jordan, including a revision of the constitution.
Fehri pointed out that Jordan's reformist steps were "identical" with those adopted by King Mohammad VI of Morocco.
The reforms carried out by the two hereditary monarchies in Jordan and Morocco over the past five months are seen to have been inspired by the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt.
