Morocco honor guest at Monaco international fair

Morocco is taking part as a guest of honor at the Monaco international fair, held from October 13 through 21

The Morocco pavilion to the major exhibition, located at the fairground entry extends over 375 square meters. It exhibits several facets of Morocco's richness, mainly trade and investments opportunities and assets in economic sectors such as tourism, handicraft and apparel in addition to cultural features such as typical cuisine, music and fashion shows. A restaurant at the fair treats visitors to Moroccan dishes.

Morocco's secretary of state to foreign trade, Abdelkrim Benatik is leading a Moroccan delegation, made up of businessmen representing 26 companies. On Monday, a seminar on investment opportunities in Morocco surveyed the ongoing reforms to consolidate the kingdom's democratic experience and efforts to attract more investments.

The Moroccan official recalled that last March's visit to Morocco by Prince Albert of Monaco with a delegation of businessmen from the principality helped shape a new type of bilateral partnership.

Benatik stressed that Morocco is betting on development of high added value exports and promotion of national and foreign investments to secure a stable and sustained growth. He also reassured businessmen from Monaco that Morocco boasts ideal conditions for mutually profitable business deals, citing political stability, macro-economic balance, sustained efforts to improve infrastructure, the creation of equipped industrial compounds and the ongoing liberalization of several sectors (telecom, banking, tourism and energy).
