Politicians in Spain and Morocco have spoken about the need for improved transport links, reigniting the possibility of a rail tunnel between the two countries.
For the last 20 years, Spain and Morocco have explored the viability of constructing a 39km underwater tunnel through the Strait of Gibraltar.
In a recent meeting between Spanish Minister of Public Works and Transport Ana Pastor and Moroccan minister Aziz Rabbah both countries recognised the economic importance of better transport links between Europe and North Africa.
In a statement on the Ministry Public Works and Transport website, Pastor said: “It is essential to establish the infrastructure networks and transport services to provide connectivity and to improve our ability to access global markets.”
