According to Ambassador Farhane, despite the geographic distance, Vietnam and Morocco has shared a close ties since the 1940, 1950, young Moroccan soldiers joined the French army in Vietnam to earn a living and support their families. But they later defected from the French troops and joined the forces of Ho Chi Minh to stand by Vietnam in the resistant war against the invaders. Many of them got married to local women. After the war ended, they put effort in supporting the development of Vietnam before repatriating with family.

Based on that foundation of ties, the Ambassador said he looked forward to seeing more growth in bilateral relations, especially the people-to-people ties.
