Morocco-Spain, Politics, 3/25/2003

President of the Spanish autonomous government of Catalonia, Artur Mas, started this Monday a two-day official visit to Morocco where he will hold talks with Moroccan officials and dedicate a commercial representation of Catalonia in Casablanca.

Mas, who will be accompanied by local minister of labor, industry, trade and tourism, will also examine with Moroccan officials, including prime minister Driss Jettou, consolidation of cooperation between Morocco and Catalonia.

The "Casa de Catalunya" to be based in Morocco's economic capital Casablanca will serve as a technical and education assistance service regulating the flow of migrants and contribute to enhancing economic ties and investments in Morocco as well as cooperation in humanitarian matters.

The Casablanca office will be the region's second representation abroad after that of Poland.

The Spanish delegation's visit also coincides with the opening of the Euro-Med school in Morocco that will train young heads of enterprises.

Meanwhile, the Spanish Ramon Llull Institute will sign with the Casablanca Hassan II university an agreement for the creation of a chair of Catalan language and literature in Morocco in order to promote cultural exchanges with Morocco.
