Economy Minister Nir Barkat announces plans to open an economic attaché’s office in Morocco
Israel and Morocco are set to forge increased ties in the water, desert and marine agriculture fields following a visit to Morocco by Economy Minister Nir Barkat last week.
The minister was in the country for SIAM, the largest international agricultural exhibition in Morocco and one of the largest in Africa. The event was held in Meknes. While there, Barkat met with recently appointed Moroccan Minister of Agriculture Mohammed Sadiki.
Barkat confirmed for Sadiki that Israel would open an economic attaché’s office in Morocco in the coming months. Already, Israel recently nominated Jamal Medlij as its agricultural attaché to Morocco.
