Morocco and Australia reviewed in Rabat the projected trade agreement, expected to be signed during an Australian official's visit to Morocco, according to a statement of the Moroccan Ministry of Industry, Trade and Handicraft.

The projected agreement was reviewed at a meeting between Moroccan minister of industry, trade and handicraft, Alami Tazi, and Morocco's honorary consul to Australia, Terence Mullane.

The document is expected to be signed during an upcoming visit to Morocco by Australian deputy premier and minister of trade. The statement gave no date of this visit.
