Casablanca – France decided, as part of its economic diplomacy in Morocco, to better position itself in new strategic sectors for the Kingdom’s development, said on Tuesday in Casablanca, its ambassador in Rabat Charles Fries.
The French-Moroccan relation is now more than ever a partnership for the future and our two countries have everything to gain by making it bear its fruits, said Fries at the 2014 France-Morocco Partnership Forum, underlining the importance of the sectors of renewable energy, food processing and city’s development.
Renewable energy is a pivotal large-scale project for Morocco which seeks to bring by 2020 the share of energy to 42% of the global installed capacity, he added, noting that French businesses are waiting for call for bids under way, as well as the phase 2 and 3 of the Ouarzazate solar plant.
Regarding food-processing industry, Fries encouraged his country’s enterprises to take advantage of possibilities offered by the 2012 EU-Morocco agricultural agreement.
