Morocco's Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, representing King Mohammed VI, returned from the Africa Forward summit in Nairobi with an enthusiastic assessment of Morocco's participation. In a press statement, he emphasized the summit's role in showcasing Morocco's investment potential across the continent.
The Africa Forward summit, held in Nairobi, Kenya, focused on boosting intra-African investment and economic cooperation. Akhannouch highlighted Morocco's commitment to South-South cooperation and its growing influence in African markets.
Morocco's participation included discussions on infrastructure, energy, and agriculture, sectors where the country has significant expertise. The summit also provided a platform for Moroccan companies to explore partnerships with African counterparts.
This engagement aligns with Morocco's broader strategy to strengthen economic ties with sub-Saharan Africa, following its return to the African Union in 2017. The country has been actively investing in African nations, particularly in banking, telecommunications, and renewable energy.
