Dubai, November 14, 2024:

highlighting a shared commitment to preserving these relations for future generations.

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.”
Also commenting on the issuance, Amin Benjelloun Touimi said: “The joint issuance of
commemorative stamps by Barid Al-Maghrib and 7X marks a significant step that celebrates the
long-standing fraternal relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and the UAE. This initiative
also highlights the strong bilateral ties between our postal institutions.”

Reflecting on the initiative, Thani Al Rumaithi said: “The launch of this UAE-Morocco joint
postage stamp holds special significance as it celebrates the historic role of postal services in
deepening relationships between countries, individuals, and diverse cultures across the world.
The postal industry has always served as more than a means of delivering messages. For
centuries, it has played a major role in uniting people, strengthening relationships, and building
bridges of cooperation and respect. This joint stamp will remain a testament to the profound ties
between our nations’ leaders, governments, and people.”
The commemorative issuance includes a set of postal stamps and a postcard depicting the two
largest and iconic mosques in both countries, which are Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in the UAE
and the Hassan II Mosque in the Kingdom of Morocco.
