The Royal Moroccan Karate Federation (FRMK) held, on Wednesday, a virtual coordination meeting with its Emirati counterpart, dedicated to examining ways to strengthen cooperation between the two parties.

Several topics related to the broadening of areas of cooperation and the sharing of experiences were discussed during the meeting, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) said on Thursday, noting that the two sides agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding and cooperation which provides mainly for setting up a friendship tournament between the two federations and the organization of joint training sessions for coaches and referees.

It also concerns the organization of joint training camps between the two national teams to allow their members to acquire an international experience, while adopting specific mechanisms for the implementation of the provisions contained in the memorandum of understanding.

During this meeting, which took place in the presence of the presidents of the two federations, Mohamed Mouktabil on the Moroccan side, and Nasser Abdul Razzaq Al-Razouki on the Emirati side, the two parties agreed to set a date for the signing of the memorandum of understanding, whether in the UAE or Morocco, after the blessed month of Ramadan, while ensuring that the president of the International Karate Federation Antonio Spinos will be present at this event.

Speaking on this occasion, Abdul Razzaq Al-Razouki praised the joint cooperation between the two federations, saying that the deepening of the partnership will have a positive impact on both parties, will strengthen the presence of karate on the international scene and will keep it at the Olympic Games after being included for the first time in the Tokyo 2021 competitions.

For his part, Mouktabil welcomed the expansion of the scope of cooperation with the Federation of the United Arab Emirates, noting that this approach will have a positive impact on the development of the game in both countries.
