Morocco seeks fruitful partnership with Lithuania (minister)

The rapprochement between Morocco and Lithuania is a genuine opportunity to establish a fruitful partnership between the two sides, Moroccan external trade minister, Mustapha Mechahouri, said here Monday during a meeting with visiting Lithuanian foreign minister Anatans Valionis. Morocco intends to profit from the advantages of Lithuania's joining to the European Union in May 2004 to concrete economic and trade bilateral cooperation, Mechahouri underlined at a meeting with the Lithuanian foreign minister who arrived in Rabat Sunday on a two-day official visit.

The Moroccan official stressed that specific sectors can be targeted in bilateral cooperation such as tourism, information technologies, clothing industry and agro-food, calling on Moroccan private operators to intensify contacts and meetings with Lithuanian peers.
