Morocco-Belgium, Economics, 9/24/2003

Morocco and the southeastern Belgian Francophone region of Walloony agreed on Tuesday to boost economic and social partnership, with a focus on the government's priorities to promote low-cost housing, tourism and investments.

During a meeting held with Walloon economy minister, Serge Kupla, who is leading a multi-sector business delegation in a visit to Morocco, prime minister, Driss Jettou, voiced the Kingdom's resolve to boost its relations with the Belgian region. He added that Belgian businessmen will find in Morocco huge potentials that need to be tapped, mainly in infrastructure, housing, industry and services. The meeting is taking place following the signing of a cooperation agreement, last Saturday, by the two parties' enterprise federations for the promotion of trade and investments between Morocco and the region.

The agreement was signed as the southern Belgian region is holding its annual festivities that feature Morocco as a guest of honor. (MAP)SH
