Japanese parliamentary delegation meets Moroccan foreign minister

A visiting Japanese parliamentary delegation reviewed in Rabat Tuesday with Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Mohamed Benaissa ways of consolidating bilateral cooperation in various fields.

Benaissa called Japan to contribute to projects geared towards the socioeconomic development and expressed the Moroccan authorities' readiness to cooperate with Japanese investors.

The Japanese delegation, led by head of the regulation and administration committee at the Japanese parliament, held talks on Monday with Mohamed Jalal Essaid, speaker of the chamber of advisors (upper chamber of the parliament) and with Abdelaziz Alaoui Hafidi, first vice-speaker of the house of representatives.

Last February, the Speaker of the Moroccan House of representatives, Abdelouahed Radi, visited Japan where he was received by Emperor Akihito and conferred with several Japanese officials on ways of boosting partnership in various sectors.
