A Moroccan-French business forum opened on Thursday in the Moroccan city of Skhirate to explore new measures to boost bilateral cooperation.
Held under the theme “Morocco-France: Building Bridges for Growth and Employment,” the forum was chaired by Moroccan and French Prime Ministers Saad-Eddine El Othmani and Edouard Philippe.
The forum aims to develop new areas of economic cooperation between the companies of the two countries and to explore the paths of a shared development in Africa.
It features plenary sessions and thematic workshops on issues of urbanization and sustainable cities, inclusive agro-industrial development and the opportunities of the digital revolution.
Philippe started on Wednesday a two-day visit to Morocco with the aim of cementing economic partnership between Paris and Rabat.
Later on Thursday, the French prime minister and his Moroccan counterpart will preside over the 13th Moroccan-French High-level Meeting.
