The strengthening of trade cooperation between Morocco and Ghana, as well as the promotion of bilateral investment, was at the heart of discussions held between Morocco’s Secretary of State for Foreign Trade, Omar Hejira, and Ghana’s Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare.
Speaking to the press following the meeting, Ms. Ofosu-Adjare said her visit builds on recent bilateral engagements held on the sidelines of a World Trade Organization (WTO) meeting in Cameroon, reflecting a strong shared commitment to deepening relations between the two countries.
She noted that while cooperation already exists in agribusiness and investment, it is now time to elevate it to a higher level, stressing that Morocco possesses key assets to become a strategic partner in Ghana’s next phase of development.
For his part, Mr. Hejira highlighted the excellent relations between the two countries, stating that the visit aligns with the vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI to promote South-South cooperation and strengthen African economic integration.
The discussions focused on ways to increase trade flows and explore complementary economic and industrial opportunities between the two countries.
Mr. Hejira also emphasized the strategic importance of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) as a promising framework for boosting intra-African trade and economic integration.
The Ghanaian minister’s working visit to Morocco, scheduled to continue until May 6, includes a series of meetings with government officials and private sector representatives, aimed at identifying new investment opportunities and expanding economic cooperation.
