DCCI invites Morocco's trade bodies to boost ties

DUBAI - Abdul Rahman Ghanim Al Mutaiwee, the Director-General of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry, has invited trade and economic bodies in the Kingdom of Morocco to reinforce their activities in Dubai's markets and to benefit from the advantages and facilities available in Jebel Ali Free Zone in order to establish a foundation for promoting the Moroccan exports to Gulf region and other neighbouring areas.

Al Mutaiwee said upon receiving Mohammed Hesso, the President of Kenitra Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services: "The Moroccan brothers are now able to participate in the several exhibitions organised by Dubai, where it is possible to promote the Moroccan products, recognise competitors and similar business counterparts as well as having the opportunities to make successful deals."

Kenitra is located in the Northwest part of Morocco, near by Rabat, where it faces the river of Sebou, with a population of 580,000 people. It is an important economic base to produce grains, vines, citrus, fruits, vegetables, Zink, cork, oil and natural gas in addition to textiles, fisheries, tobaccos and fertilizer factories.

During the meeting, Al Mutaiwee said that there are several factors that can support the inter-commerce between Dubai and Morocco; increase the flow of Moroccan exports to Dubai and the regional markets, such as launching a direct airway line between Dubai and Casablanca also signing the Twinning Agreement between the two cities.

He emphasised that the Arab economic relations are not effective enough, in spite of holding many agreements, but they are still pending implementation.
