On July 26, 1962, N.S. Khrushchev met with Moroccan Ambassador Abdel’kebir El-Fassi to discuss Soviet-Moroccan relations. El-Fassi expressed gratitude for Soviet support during the Suez Crisis and in decolonization efforts and emphasized Morocco’s desire to strengthen political, economic, and military ties with the USSR. The conversation also covered regional issues, including Algeria’s internal situation, Morocco’s concerns over Mauritania’s independence, and efforts to free Moroccan territory from Spanish control.
