Strengthening cooperation between Morocco and the United Kingdom in the area of statistics was the focus of a meeting, Friday in Rabat, between the High Commissioner for Planning, Ahmed Lahlimi Alami, and the United Kingdom’s Ambassador to Morocco, Simon Martin.
On this occasion, the two parties discussed ways to consolidate bilateral cooperation in the production of statistics for the development of both countries, especially in the new context related to the Brexit.
Talks with Mr. Martin allowed to discuss the cooperation between the Kingdom of Morocco and the United Kingdom, especially in the field of statistics in both countries, Lahlimi told MAP.
“We share the same statistical values which allow us to produce quality studies that affect all sectors,” he said.
The new Brexit context opens surely new prospects, through the association established between the two countries, Lahlimi added.
It also offers, the opportunity to further develop the already existing relationship between the High Commission for Planning (HCP) and the UK Statistics Authority.
“We have many similarities in terms of production of statistics and we are working on aspects that will bring us even closer,” Lahlimi stated.
For his part, the UK diplomat said he was pleased to see cooperation in the field of statistics between the two countries be further strengthened. “We have identified together areas of cooperation between the United Kingdom and Morocco in the field of statistics, but also in terms of economy and social development through data,” the ambassador said.
Also, “we have discussed ways to leverage this cooperation for the good and the economic and social development of both countries,” he concluded.
