Morocco’s Ambassador to Canada Souriya Otmani on Thursday highlighted, on the occasion of Africa Day, the Kingdom’s contribution to the construction of a common continental development model.
Morocco draws on its unique historical and religious relationship with Africa, which is based on issues of co-development, enhanced South-South solidarity and a strong social dimension, she explained at an Africa Day event organized at the University of Ottawa.
The Kingdom has always sought to contribute to the construction of a continental model of “common development” through a series of projects and programs carried out in a large number of African countries, she further noted. In this respect, she pointed out that these projects are aimed in particular at promoting infrastructure, higher education and vocational training, but also and above all at strengthening food and energy sovereignty, health security, the development of internal resources and the strengthening of industrial systems.
During the event, which was organized at the initiative of the Group of African Ambassadors accredited to Canada, Otmani stressed that Morocco believes in Africa’s potential and has full confidence in the continent.
the Moroccan diplomate noted that the Kingdom is today the first African investor in West Africa and the second African investor on the continent. “It is one of the countries whose companies have the strongest presence throughout Africa, in more than thirty countries.”
