The foreign ministries of Egypt and Morocco issued in May a joint statement on the talks held by Minister Sameh Shokry and his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Borita in Rabat.

The talks stressed the economic and investment aspect as a cornerstone in bilateral relations between Egypt and Morocco. That is given the two countries' ability to achieve integration in several sectors, the unique geographical locations of both of them, and their large economic and human capabilities.

Hence, the two ministers expressed eagerness on bolstering economic cooperation, expanding the reciprocation of investments, benefiting more from the favorable investment climate in both countries, boosting trade exchange, and reinforcing partnerships and experience exchange.

In that context, the two sides called on the Egyptian-Moroccan business council to seize such opportunities. The two parties also agreed on preparing for the convention of the joint supreme committee chaired by the political leadership of Egypt and Morocco.

The ministers similarly agreed on holding the fourth session of the Political Coordination and Consultation Mechanism in Cairo in the second half of 2022. That is in addition to holding a meeting for the joint consulate and social affairs committee to discuss matters concerning the expats of both states.
