Mr. Bourita and his Bissau-Guinean counterpart reaffirm their commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation.
On this occasion, the two ministers reviewed the progress of bilateral cooperation, described as very positive in various fields. They also spoke of turning the partnership between the two countries into a model of intra-African cooperation, based on values of solidarity, exchange, and sharing, in line with the significant momentum resulting from the visit to Guinea-Bissau by His Majesty King Mohammed VI in June 2015, which helped trace the framework for strategic cooperation through implementing bilateral agreements in various fields and strengthening cooperation mechanisms.
As such, they agreed to work toward further promoting cooperation in key sectors such as vocational training, health, telecommunications, agriculture and marine fisheries, tourism, port management and operations, mining, finance, and institutional capacity building.
Mr. Bourita and his Guinea-Bissauan peer also called for continued implementation of the agreements signed during the 4th Joint Cooperation Commission, held on July 16, 2024, in Laayoune.
The two officials agreed to organize a week-long event to promote Guinea-Bissau’s economy in Morocco this coming September, with a view to reinforcing Moroccan investment in sectors targeted by Guinea-Bissau, while emphasizing the importance of establishing the Moroccan-Guinea-Bissau Business Council to foster the development of trade between the two countries.
