This visit focused on discussing the diverse collaborations between the UK and Morocco on trade, climate, clean energy, and green growth, as well as regional and international issues of common interest, and education.
The Moroccan minister of education, Miraoui, highlighted the need for the two countries to recognize the fundamental importance and the leverage of an educated population.
Ahmad of Wimbledon revealed that his discussions with the Moroccan minister of education focused on strengthening bilateral ties between institutions of both countries and growing further.
