Morocco, Iraq hold 9th session of joint commission

Morocco and Iraq will hold the 9th session of their joint commission this March 31 through April 3 in Baghdad, it was officially announced in Rabat.

Morocco's minister of industry, trade, energy and mining, Mustapha Mansouri, will lead the Moroccan delegation to the meeting.

Baghdad will also host an exhibition of made-in-Morocco food, pharmaceutical, electronic and mechanic products with the participation of 120 Moroccan companies.

Last February, Moroccan economic daily "L'Economiste" reported that five Moroccan enterprises have struck in the second half of last year $ 100 million-worth of UN-authorized deals.

According to the paper some contracts are still suspended by a UN commission over suspicions that the supplies could have a double use, such as a $ 1.2 million contract for the supply of computer equipment and a $ 2.2 million contract of irrigation machinery.
