Ouagadougou: Burkina Faso and the Kingdom of Morocco have taken significant steps to enhance their military cooperation, as highlighted by the recent meeting of the Joint Military Commission hosted by the General Directorate of Military and Defense Cooperation of the Ministry of Defense and Veterans Affairs. The meeting took place from September 29 to October 2, 2025, focusing on implementing and expanding the cooperative activities between the two nations.

The gathering aimed to evaluate the progress made since the last Joint Military Cooperation Commission meeting and to explore new possibilities for collaboration. The cooperation has seen a strong commitment from the Kingdom of Morocco, particularly in the training of Burkinabe officers at Moroccan military institutions. Training and military health are among the key areas where Burkinabe military personnel have received capacity building.
