Morocco, Namibia to give momentum to cooperation

Morocco and Namibia agreed to give a new momentum to their bilateral cooperation and to reactivate the project to set up a joint commission on economic, financial, cultural and technical cooperation.

The decision was made at a meeting here Sunday between Moroccan minister of civil service and administrative reform, M'Hamed Khalifa, and Namibian Premier, Haje Geingob, on the sidelines of the third biennial conference of African civil service ministers, held in Windhoek February 5-6.

Khalifa conveyed on the occasion to the Namibian Premier an invitation from his Moroccan peer, Abderrahmane Youssoufi, to pay a visit to Morocco to open new prospects to bilateral cooperation.

Talks also covered means of enlarging the scope of actions of the Tangier-based African center of administrative training and development (CAFRAD).

Khalifa, who is the chairman of the CAFRAD governing board, called at the opening session of the conference on the African continent to ponder on a new approach to promote civil service and adapt administrative reform to current requirements.
