Venezuela offers Morocco its low-cost power fuel

Venezuela is interested in upgrading partnership with Morocco in matters of energy and offered the kingdom its low-cost fuel developed for the production of electricity.

The offer was made Thursday by the visiting Venezuelan deputy foreign minister, Jorge Valero Briceno, at a meeting held with Moroccan Minister of Energy and Mining Youssef Tahiri.

The Moroccan minister voiced his department's readiness to study seriously the Venezuelan offer to supply Morocco with the "orimulsion" fuel.

He also called for the elaboration of a joint cooperation program in matters of energy, mining, oil prospecting and geology.

The minister asked the Venezuelan engineering companies to participate in the international tender launched by Morocco for the elaboration of geologic maps.
