Moroccan Students Show Rising Interest in Studying in Hungary
The ambassador revealed that more than 5,500 Moroccan students applied for scholarships in Hungary for the 2025/2026 academic year. This increase reflects a growing interest among Moroccan students in studying in Hungary.
The scholarships are provided through the Stipendium Hungaricum program, which is funded by the Hungarian government. Established in 2013, the program is supervised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and managed by the Tempus Public Foundation.
The program offers nearly 800 full-degree programs in various fields at different levels of study. The programs are available in English, French, and other languages at 36 Hungarian universities and colleges.
The scholarship covers all tuition fees and provides support for accommodation costs.
In recent years, an increasing number of Moroccan students have chosen to study abroad in countries like Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, and neighboring nations.
These countries attract students due to their affordable tuition fees, quality of education, and a wide range of academic programs. Many Moroccan students pursue fields such as medicine, engineering, and business .
In November, Ibn Zohr University in Agadir and Hungary's Karoli Gaspar University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance academic cooperation.
The agreement was initiated during a visit by a Hungarian delegation, which included Karoli Gaspar University's president, Laszlo Trocsanyi, and Hungary's ambassador to Morocco. The MoU outlines student exchanges, collaboration between professors and researchers, as well as joint research projects across various fields. Tags: EducationhungaryMoroccostudents

Mauritanian and Algerian armies meet in Tindouf after Polisario attacks on Es-Smara
A few days after the Polisario's rocket attacks on Es-Smara, a Mauritanian army delegation traveled to Tindouf to meet with Algerian military officials. Officially, the June 30 meeting aimed to «assess the security situation along the shared border during the first half of 2025», according to a statement from the Mauritanian army. Discussions also focused on measures to «strengthen coordination between border units, activate joint intelligence efforts to combat terrorism, smuggling, illegal immigration, and unauthorized gold prospecting, and ensure the security of Algerian companies working on the road project linking Tindouf to Zouerate», the statement added. The meeting came just three days after the Polisario launched projectiles on June 27 targeting civilian areas in Es-Smara, including a MINURSO site. As in previous incidents, Polisario fighters reportedly crossed into Mauritanian territory, specifically the Lebriga region bordering Tindouf, before firing missiles at Moroccan positions. Back in May, the Mauritanian government had already announced the closure of the Lebriga area, citing domestic security concerns. «This is a sovereign security policy aimed at controlling border crossings and securing national territory», stated Houssein Ould Meddou, Minister of Culture, Arts, Communication, and Relations with Parliament, and government spokesperson. «This measure has no political significance and is not directed at any specific party. It is part of a consistent state policy to protect national sovereignty», he added. In recent weeks, the Lebriga region has seen rising tensions involving Mauritanian and Algerian troops, as well as Polisario militias. Mauritania is seeking a stronger commitment from Algeria to help secure the area.

Morocco deploys Zoomlion heavy-lift crane for Rabat World Cup stadium, Benslimane up next
Zoomlion's flagship crawler crane, the ZCC9800W, is currently being used for critical hoisting operations at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, which is under construction. Designed for large-scale infrastructure and energy projects, the crane is «delivering high-precision lifts of steel components weighing hundreds of tons, operating with efficiency and stability on site», Zoomlion said in a press release on Wednesday. Following the completion of work in Rabat, the ZCC9800W will be transferred to the construction site of the Grand Stade Hassan II in Benslimane, Morocco, which is set to become the largest football stadium in the world and host the upcoming 2030 World Cup. Zoomlion also highlighted the crane's proven performance in demanding environments, including «wind turbine installations in Inner Mongolia under –40°C conditions and petrochemical projects in Vietnam facing wind speeds over 8 m/s». «The crane's performance in Morocco marks a key milestone in Zoomlion's continued advancement in the high-tonnage crane segment», the press release added. For the record, the ZCC9800W is one of several heavy-duty cranes ordered by Eurogrues Maroc, a leading Moroccan industrial lifting company, from Zoomlion this year. The fleet also includes the Zoomlion ZCC17000—Africa's first 1,250-ton crawler crane—along with the ZAT9000V (900 t) mobile crane, ZAT5000V (500 t) mobile crane, ZAT1600V (160 t) mobile crane, and ZRT900V (90 t) all-terrain crane. The acquisition comes as Morocco accelerates preparations for the 2030 World Cup, with the new equipment set to support major infrastructure projects across the energy, transport, and sports sectors.

Algeciras port pilots vote to strike amid Operation Crossing the Strait
The Corporation of Maritime Pilots at the Port of Algeciras has voted to go on strike, with 34 out of 47 members present supporting the move. Four voted against it, while nine abstained. Although no date has been announced, the strike is expected to take place during the high-traffic Operation Crossing the Strait (OPE), which began in Spain on June 15. According to El Estrecho Digital, the strike follows failed negotiations with the fleet department after seven months of conflict over equipment and staffing shortages. The outlet describes the current moment as a «particularly sensitive period, marked by deep disagreements over the availability of material and human resources». The union accuses management of adopting an «intransigent and hostile attitude toward workers, blocking any path to agreement». Joaquín Millán, a workers' representative quoted by local media, warned that the decision to strike during OPE could «have a direct impact on port operations in the coming days». «This is a critical period for maritime traffic in southern Spain», he said, referring to the surge in passenger and cargo movement between Europe and North Africa, which coincides with Operation Marhaba on the Moroccan side. Maritime workers in Algeciras say efforts to resolve the conflict through dialogue have made little headway. They claim that management's approach has fostered «a climate of confrontation, deepening internal divisions and failing to recognize the vital role pilots play in ensuring port safety». While the specific dates and details of the strike have not yet been finalized, the union is expected to announce its mobilization schedule this Thursday. Large-scale action has not been ruled out, but union leaders stressed that «the situation could still be resolved if management demonstrates a genuine willingness to negotiate».
