Morocco–Philippines relations refers to the bilateral relations between Morocco and the Philippines.
Relations between the two countries were officially established on December 27, 1975.[1] Morocco has an embassy in Manila and the Philippines has an embassy in Rabat.
The Philippines previously had an embassy to Morocco in Rabat. The embassy was closed in March 1986, about month just after President Corazon Aquino took office following the aftermath of People Power Revolution. The daughter of the ousted President, Ferdinand Marcos, Imee Marcos and her husband Tommy Manotoc resided in Morocco and reportedly had Moroccan passports following the overthrow of Marcos. The Marcoses were close friends with King Hassan II.[2]
Morocco has a resident ambassador in the Philippines, Mohammed Rida El-Fassi, who presented his credentials to President Rodrigo Duterte on January 10, 2017.[4] However, the embassy opened nearly 2 years afterwards, in November 2018. It is located in Taguig, a city in Metro Manila.
In December 2019, the Philippines re-opened its embassy in Rabat, Morocco.[5]
