HM the King voices His high appreciation of the spirit of sincere solidarity shown by the friendly Kingdom of Spain, King, government and people, towards Morocco, and which was clearly illustrated through the participation of the contingent of the Spanish Military Rescue Unit in search and rescue operations in the disaster areas, with nobility, abnegation and efficiency and in perfect synergy and cohesion with Moroccan teams.
