Cooperation with Morocco tops French foreign cooperation

Moroccan-French cooperation is the "most important one" in France's foreign relations, the minister in charge of cooperation and francophony, Charles Josselin, on Tuesday told "Monte Carlo" radio.

Exchanges with the kingdom are picking up in the economic, cultural, scientific, human and industrial fields, he said, insisting more care should be given to environment, employment, retirement and justice.

Moroccan Economy and Finance Minister Fathallah Oualalou told the same radio relations were not limited to economy but encompass political and social aspects pointing out to how the Moroccan community contributed to the cultural and economic prosperity of France, and Europe at large.
