Turkmenistan's extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador to Morocco Ishanguly Amanlyev has handed a letter of credence to Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Kingdom of Morocco Mohammed Ali Lazreq, the Turkmen Foreign Ministry said in a message May 29.

The diplomat is also leading the diplomatic mission in Turkey.

In a letter to President Berdimuhamedov, in October 2017, King of Morocco Mohammed VI expressed confidence that the existing relations of brotherhood and mutual respect between Morocco and Turkmenistan will continue to strengthen and develop on the basis of mutually beneficial cooperation in the interests of the two peoples.

Stressing the important role of cooperation with African states earlier, the Turkmen Foreign Ministry expressed its commitment to development of relations with the African Union.

The African Union, established on July 9, 2002, is an international intergovernmental organization uniting 55 African states.
