An ambassador of Turkish Morocco Ilker Killic said that the delegation had met the officials of the Defense Bureau and the Royal Moroccan Army High Command.
Ambassador Turkish later received the company’s representative led by Elhan Organ, a regional director in the Middle East and Africa. Aselsan is one of the 50’s largest defense companies in the world and plays a leading role in the development and manufacturing of defense systems supporting the Turkish army.

It emphasizes that it will contribute to the construction of industrial bases, and will increase the economic, economic, economic, and increase in the country. Military immunity faced the task.
MoatadHed told the Arab Weekly that military cooperation between the two countries represents “further steps to support Morocco’s efforts to develop military and technical abilities.” Operate an advanced system.
The kingdom previously announced the appointment of an embassy in New Delhi and Ankala to strengthen the cooperation of the defense industry.
In recent years, Morocco has become one of the major customers in the Turkish defense industry. This is because the Kingdom had previously equipped with 13 Bayraktar TB2 drones in the Air Force in a contract with Turkish company Baykar, which was previously equivalent to $ 70 million.
Morocco is also frequently expressed interest in other Turkish weapons when the kingdom has modernized and enhanced the army and doubles the budget of weapons. According to the MoatadHed, the Turkish defense industry is characterized by its high efficiency and competitive costs, which represents the ideal model of a partnership that balances economic effectiveness and technology. Thus, this partnership can succeed in Turkey’s expertise in the manufacturing of electronic systems, smart solutions, and drones.

Morocco has also signed a $ 50 million agreement with Turkish company Assessan to get the Coral Electronic War system between 2023 and 2024.
In addition, we have submitted a request to purchase a 200 Turkey 2 -armored vehicle worth about $ 136 million. Turkey supplies spare parts and maintenance equipment and provides training services to the royal army on the vehicle.
MOATADHED has Morocco’s own advanced defense technology from Turkey, and to strengthen its status as an effective regional power in light of local security issues, especially in local security issues, such as securing terrorism and maritime navigation. I’m thinking. In addition, a partnership with Aselsan will launch a joint project, including a research center specializing in the defense industry. This is a laboratory to create a long -term strategic relationship that is useful for the stability of the two countries by exchanging expertise and resources. Improve their common interests.
According to the 2025 financial bill textbook, Morocco has once again raised the defense budget to 1333 billion Dilham (about $ 13 billion). As part of the process of updating the royal weapon, the aim is to provide efficiency and preparations facing various issues.
In the diversification of LINKDS, Morocco has been open to new military and defense partnerships because it depends on various sources to access more efficient weapons, including the Turkish defense industry. 。 We have begun preparing for the military and the defense industry, which specializes in the industrial zone and platforms, attracting foreign investments, and aiming to develop the abilities of the Army, the Army, and the Army.
MoatadHed depends on the development of the nation as part of a comprehensive national change as a comprehensive change in approaching Morocco’s national security, as part of a comprehensive change in the national security.
