Morocco, US to boost renewable energy cooperation

Casablanca - Morocco and the United States discussed means to promote cooperation at a meeting between Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Trade Promotion Suresh Kumar and Chairman of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM), Mohamed Hourani.

The meeting was an opportunity to assess Moroccan-US partnership especially in the fields of renewable energy, information technology, basic infrastructure and transport.

"We are ready to help Morocco diversify its exports and work together with the CGEM to inform large companies of projects underway in Morocco," said Kumar, who is leading a US commercial delegation, composed of representatives of 18 large American companies operating in various sectors.

Kumar is also Director General of the US and Foreign Commercial Service.

For his part, Hourani stressed the importance of promoting trade between the two countries, which are linked by deep friendly relations for decades.

He also highlighted investment and partnership opportunities in Morocco in several sectors, including agriculture, fisheries, infrastructure, industry, handicrafts and Communications and Information Technology.

The political stability that Morocco enjoys is the basis for reinforcing the Moroccan-American economic relations, said U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce Suresh Kumar.

Suresh Kumar, who met Wednesday in Settat with students of National School for Commerce and management, said that Morocco's political stability encourages the two countries to create a "safe and sound" economic area.

He told MAP news agency that Morocco, with its large-scale economic potentialities, is a market which "we trust and encourage collaborating with it."
