France is “more than ever” determined to develop economic partnerships and exchanges with Rabat in order to strengthen its economic partnerships with the Kingdom, said France’s Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade and Attractiveness Franck Riester on Monday, according to MAP.

“We would like to share with business owners our common ambition to develop economic partnerships and exchanges between France and Morocco, especially after the inauguration of the new government, a year after my last visit,” Riester said, during his meeting with the president of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises, Chakib Laalj, in Casablanca.

Reister is visiting Morocco for two days from November 22-23, to explore the future of the “exceptional Moroccan-French partnership,” according to the French embassy in Rabat statement on Twitter.

Riester’s visit agenda includes a meeting with the President and Vice President of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises, as well as with a delegation of Moroccan business experts.

The French minister said the Moroccan-French partnership will include cooperation in the food industry, aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, technologies, and transport, in addition to sectors that have “enormous potential” for the future that France aims to build with Morocco both at the governmental level and entrepreneurship one, added Reister.

The president of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises told Reister, during their meeting, that Paris needs to remove certain obstacles such as the tightening of visa procedures since the beginning of the year for Moroccans, to pave the way for a “healthy and favorable” cooperative climate between the two states, according to MAP.
