Morocco Government Head Justifies His Double Kiss to Saudi King

The head of Morocco government Abdelilah Benkirane justified in the columns of Al Akhbar Yaoum double kiss he gave to the Saudi king Salman.

On the occasion of the reception of King Salman of Saudi Arabia at Tangier airport, the Head of Government Abdelilah Benkirane graced the Saudi head of state with special hello. Indeed, he has embraced both shoulders of the Saudi monarch, which sparked outrage on the canvas in a way that denounces “humiliating” to greet a foreign head of state.

the head of government justified that: “This man has the age of my father, he is the King of Saudi Arabia or the holy places of Islam servant.”

Another reason for this rather special salvation: “[King Salman] is a great friend of Morocco and King Mohammed VI, we love him and he loves us. That’s how I greeted the late King Abdullah Bin Abdelaziz, and I will continue to do it this way. ” quoted by Benkirane in Akhbar Al Yaoum, the PJD would seek to attract dignitaries from Gulf countries that are known for having supported the coup against the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
