The launch event, held on November 13, 2024, at Barid Al-Maghrib Museum in Rabat, Morocco’s capital, was attended by Thani Salem Al Rumaithi, Head of the Economic, Political, Media, and Public Diplomacy Section, on behalf of His Excellency Al Asri Saeed Ahmed Al Dhaheri, Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to the Kingdom of Morocco, Obaid Al Qatami, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at 7X and Amin Benjelloun Touimi, General Director of Barid Al-Maghrib Group, along with other officials.
During the ceremony, Obaid Al Qatami said: “The UAE and the Kingdom of Morocco share longstanding ties, dating back to the time of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and the late King Hassan II. At 7X, in collaboration with Barid Al-Maghrib Group, we are honoured to commemorate these enduring ties of friendship and strategic partnership through these stamps. This initiative celebrates the continuous efforts to make these relations an exemplary success on all fronts.”
