Morocco wants free trade accords with Latin America

Morocco on Monday voiced its wish to conclude free trade accords with Latin American countries.

"Morocco wishes to conclude free trade accords with Latin American countries, that will help both sides open news outlets in their respective regions," Moroccan Premier Abderrahmane Youssoufi said at a lecture he gave at the Argentine Center for International Relations.

Youssoufi insisted that geographical distance should not hinder the development of trade and partnership between countries.

Youssoufi, who is visiting Argentina part of a tour that already took him to Colombia and Chile, explained that distance has become insignificant in the new world environment.

During his stay in Argentina, Youssoufi hosted a function in honor of Argentine Mps and Businessmen. He was also received at the Argentine congress and conferred with ex-president Raul Allustin, who ruled Argentina between 1983 and 1986.
