Morocco, Germany start annual inter-government talks

Morocco and Germany started Tuesday in Bonn their annual intergovernmental talks to assess past technical and financial cooperation and identify future partnership projects.

During this new round of talks, the two countries will identify the priority sectors needing further coordination and review the financial assistance needed by Morocco to lower illiteracy, upgrade technical training, improve medicare and raise the living standards of the lower social layers.

In 1997, Germany granted Morocco DM 69.5 million which helped the Kingdom carry out several socioeconomic development projects in the rural zone. The German assistance also served to finance several projects in vocational training, agriculture, environment protection, desertification control and water prospecting.
