Rabat - Morocco's Energy, Mines, Water and Environment Minister Amina Benkhadra held talks with Turkey's Minister of State Hayati Yazici, on means to promote bilateral cooperation.

The meeting, held on the sidelines of the 9th Morocco-Turkey joint economic committee in Rabat, focused on ways to strengthen bilateral partnership and expertise exchange in terms of sustainable development and renewable energies.

Benkhadra said that Morocco's energy resources mobilization is one of the Kingdom's new energy strategy's main goals as it enables to ensure supply and reduce energy dependence.

Benkhadra noted that Morocco could benefit from the Turkey’s experience in terms of hydroelectric power production, urging, in this regard, Turkish companies to take advantage of investment opportunities in Morocco in order to promote phosphate production.

For his part, the Turkish official hailed Morocco’s efforts in economic and social fields, voicing his country’s willingness to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the fields of renewable energy and mining. (MAP)
