Signed by the Director General of the Austrian State Archives, Helmut Wohnout, and the Director of the Royal Archives of Morocco, Bahija Simou, the MoU aims to institutionalize the relationship of cooperation between the two parties by promoting the exchange of expertise and best practices in archives and enriching their respective collections.
This MoU, the first signed by the Austrian State Archives with an African and Arab institution, marks a significant step in deepening bilateral relations.
It is part of the continuation of a rich and centuries-old historical relationship between two great nations that, for over two centuries, have built ties based on the promotion of peace and dialogue among civilizations.
These relations, forged through diplomatic, cultural, and scientific exchanges, illustrate an unprecedented historical connection, supported by significant archival holdings, and reflect the role of these two great nations on the international stage.
