Moroccan premier meets Burkina FM

Morocco's premier, Driss Jettou, met in Casablanca on Friday with Burkina Faso minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Cooperation, Youssouf Ouedraogo.

Jettou reiterated Morocco's determination to "intensify cooperation with Burkina Faso, particularly in the realms of water, agriculture, craftsmanship, professional training and promotion of small and medium enterprises," said the prime minister's office.

The two African officials probed bilateral relations and the positive evolution of Morocco-Burkina Faso cooperation in the last years and stressed the need to reinforce economic and trade relations by increasing contacts between the private sectors of the two countries.

They also underlined the importance of regular air links between Morocco and East Africa, the source went on.

Ouedraogo arrived in Casablanca on Thursday for a four-day work visit.
