Morocco, Japan poised to foster investment ties
Morocco and Japan are poised to foster their investment ties under an agreement signed this Wednesday in Tokyo.
The deal sets the stage for deeper economic relations between the two countries, opens fresh opportunities for collaboration, and facilitates the exchange of expertise and best practices.
The agreement was signed by Moroccan Minister in charge of Investment, Karim Zidane, who is conducting a roadshow in Japan, and Japanese Minister of Economy, Yoji Muto.
The roadshow, jointly organized by the Ministry and The Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development (AMDIE), aims to strengthen bilateral economic relations and highlight Morocco’s advantages as a prime destination for foreign direct investment, particularly in emerging sectors.
The Moroccan delegation held a series of meetings with key economic stakeholders in Japan, including Keidanren (Japan Business Federation), one of the country’s leading business groups, Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO).
Meetings were also organized with Japanese companies operating in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, agribusiness, and renewable energy.
On Thursday, the Moroccan delegation will continue its roadshow in Seoul, where it will showcase Morocco’s strengths as an investment destination during a “Morocco Now” conference.
High-level meetings with Korean government officials and sectoral federations are planned to strengthen economic and institutional relations between the two countries. Investment opportunities in Morocco will be explored with Korean companies in key sectors such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, as well as rail and shipbuilding industries.
