On Tuesday, Bourita also met his Serbian counterpart Ivica Dacic, with whom he signed a memorandum of understanding in the field of youth and sports.
Both officials co-chaired a press conference to discuss the countries’ policies.
The agreement followed two other cooperation agreements between Dacic and Bourita in March.
The agreements, which focused on the fields of diplomatic training and culture, were signed during Dacic’s visit to Morocco.
Both officials also agreed to hold the second session of their joint committee which will focus on economic and trade cooperation.
The joint committee is scheduled to meet before the end of the year in Morocco.
Dacic expressed positivity over the joint committee, emphasizing that it should be held as soon as possible, with a view to developing economic ties.
