The 5th Moroccan-Ivorian joint committee will be held next June in Abidjan, Ivorian foreign minister Charles Koffi Dibby said on Saturday.
In two weeks, the Ivorian party will finalize agreement projects that will be submitted to the Moroccan side before the experts’ meeting slated late May, Koffy Dibby said at a joint press briefing with Moroccan peer Saad Dine El Otmani.
He said that the joint committee will ratify several cooperation agreements between Morocco and the Ivory Coast in areas 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 cooperation to make it in line with the strong momentum given to bilateral relations thanks to the official visit by His Majesty King Mohammed VI in Côte d’Ivoire.
El Otmani noted that Morocco and the Côte d’Ivoire are determined to ensure that this “important” and “historic” visit led to effective cooperation and concrete projects.
