Malawi's fm meets Moroccan officials

Malawi's minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation, Lilian Patel, who started on Friday a three-day visit to Morocco held in Rabat on the same day work sessions with several Moroccan officials.

The head of Malawi's diplomacy met separately with prime minister, Driss Jettou, speakers of the house of representatives, Abdelouahed Radi, of the chamber of advisors, Mustapha Okacha, minister of tourism, Adil Douiri, and minister of agriculture and rural development, Mohand Laenser.

The Moroccan officials lauded the decision made by Malawi last September to withdraw recognition of the so-called Sahrawi republic as a move that will allow for enhancing cooperation ties between the two African countries.

Patel said her country wishes to benefit from Morocco's economic experience and technical competence, especially in the fields of tourism industry, training of tourism professionals, irrigation and management of water resources.
