In an interview with MAP on Thursday, Baja explained that "this is a joint effort of the two embassies for an event that reflects the very good relations between the two countries," adding that he "hopes to see a logo that has aspects that represent both countries, but also all these years of diplomatic relations and friendship between Morocco and the Philippines."

In this regard, the ambassador evoked "an increase in the number of tourists from the Philippines to Morocco", hoping that "more Moroccans will be able to visit the Philippines" and discover its culture.
