Morocco voices readiness to support guinea in sustainable & inclusive growth

Morocco has offered to support the Republic of Guinea in sustainable and inclusive socioeconomic development within the frame of solidarity- based South-South cooperation spearheaded by King Mohammed VI.

The offer was made by Head of Govt. Aziz Akhannouch during talks he held Thursday in Rabat with Guinea’s Prime Minister Mamadou Oury Bah in presence of foreign minister Nasser Bourita.

The Moroccan offer also includes support to the West African country, particularly in agriculture, fisheries, healthcare, and industry.

Mr. Akhannouch hailed the bonds of brotherhood, friendship, and solidarity existing between the two African countries. He also recalled the visits paid by King Mohammed VI to Guinea in 2014 and 2017 to bolster cooperation ties with Conakry.

Heads of government of the two countries also discussed ways of strengthening economic cooperation, trade, and investment in priority strategic sectors.

In 2020, Guinea opened a consulate in Moroccan Saharan city of Dakhla, a diplomatic move reflecting recognition of the Moroccanness of the Sahara by this African country.
