Morocco participated, Friday, in the 21st International Economic Forum on Africa, organized in the framework of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Ministerial Council Meeting (MCM).

At this Forum, which is an opportunity for OECD members to engage at high level, yet informally, with Africa’s leaders, movers and shakers on many issues relating to the African continent, Morocco was represented by the Treasurer General of the Kingdom, Noureddine Bensouda,

“Morocco by its participation in this forum, which was kicked off by Senegalese President Macky Sall, Chairman of the African Union, wanted (…) to convey its vision on several strategic matters, including issues on food security, health and energy for Africa and its people, ” Bensouda told MAP.

Those issues also related to the emancipation of women and opportunities that are offered to youth so that women and youth can stand out as major factors of economic and social development of the continent, he added.

The Treasurer General of the Kingdom represents the Minister of Economy and Finance, Nadia Fettah Alaoui, at the OECD MCM, which opened Thursday in Paris.

This meeting was an opportunity for Morocco to advocate the strengthening of economic cooperation between African countries and those of the OECD, taking advantage of the enormous potential of Africa.
