Rabat: This meeting is an opportunity to give new impetus to trade relations between the two countries, which have experienced major growth in recent years thanks to the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and His Majesty King Mohammed VI, particularly after the entry into force of the free trade agreement between the two countries, Bolat said during the opening session.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, due to their geographical locations and free trade agreements with the European Union, Morocco and Trkiye offer promising opportunities for partnership in the areas of investment, trade, industry, and transportation. Bolat noted that Morocco is a gateway to Africa and the United States, while Trkiye is a central platform for accessing the Asian market.

Bolat highlighted that both countries attract significant international investment and that their industrial sectors are increasingly integrated into international value chains. This integration paves the way for broader cooperation between Moroccan and Turkish economic actors, emphasizing the need to strengthen mutual investment as an essential lever for accelerating economic cooperation, developing trade, and expanding existing economic partnerships.

The Turkish official also congratulated Morocco on its designation as co-host of the 2030 World Cup, alongside Spain and Portugal. He noted that preparations for this global event offer Turkish companies broad opportunities for cooperation in areas such as stadium renovation, hotel construction, road network development, and airport capacity expansion.

The Forum’s program, which includes the participation of government officials, representatives of public institutions, businesspeople, and investors from Morocco and Trkiye, features sessions dedicated to presenting investment opportunities and the business climate in both countries.
