Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall are to pay an official visit to Morocco early next month, despite unrest in north African states.
The long-planned three day visit is going ahead on Foreign Office advice in a bid to improve trade and cultural links. Britain exports £300m of goods to the country each year.
Although there have been demonstrations in Rabat, diplomats say they have not been aimed at overthrowing the Moroccan monarchy. The visit, following a trip to Portugal and Spain, will include engagements in Fez, where the prince will discuss inter-faith dialogue, Rabat and an environmental project at the Errachidia oasis.
