King Felipe VI highlights importance of Spain-Morocco relations

King Felipe VI of Spain highlighted, Monday in Bilbao, the importance of his country’s relations with Morocco and underlined that Morocco has “economic sectors with high potential.”

“Morocco is a country with high potential economic sectors,” King Felipe VI said in an address delivered at the opening of the 26th National Congress of Family Business, held October 23-24 with Morocco as guest of honor.

The Spanish Sovereign highlighted the presence of many leading Spanish companies in Morocco.

In his address before representatives of around 600 family businesses, King Felipe VI noted that the participation of Moroccan business operators in this meeting “can help better understand the importance of relations with our neighboring country, Morocco.”

The Spanish Sovereign also seized this opportunity to reiterate Spain’s “solidarity” with Morocco after the earthquake that struck Al Haouz province on September 8.

Organized by the Family Business Institute (IEF), in collaboration with the Basque Country Family Business Association (Aefame), this two-day meeting is the most important business forum in Spain.

The second day of this event will be marked by the organization of a round table themed “Family business: the driving force of Morocco.”
