ABIDJAN (Ivory Coast), March 25 (BERNAMA-NNN-MAP) — The 5th Moroccan-Ivorian joint committee meeting will be held here next June, Ivorian Foreign Minister Charles Koffi Dibby said here over the weekend.
In two weeks, the Ivorian party will finalise projects to be submitted to the Moroccan side before the experts’ meeting slated for late May, Koffy Dibby told a joint media briefing with Moroccan counterpart Saad Dine El Otmani.
He added that the joint committee would ratify several co-operation agreements between Morocco and the Ivory Coast in areas such as tourism, fisheries and agriculture, water management, air and sea transport and vocational training.
The minister stressed the willingness of both countries to update the legal framework for co-operation to make it in line with the strong momentum given to bilateral relations thanks to the official visit by Morocco’s King Mohammed VI in Cote d’Ivoire last week.
El Otmani noted that Morocco and the Cote d’Ivoire were determined to ensure that this “important” and “historic” visit would lead to effective co-operation and concrete projects.
