Morocco has successfully developed an active economic diplomacy that has positioned it as a true hub of Africa, affirmed the Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC), Mahmoud Ali Youssouf.
In a meeting held Wednesday at the Moroccan embassy in Addis Ababa, the AU official attributed this standing to the country's numerous investments in forward-looking sectors such as infrastructure, telecommunications, agriculture, finance, and energy.
The meeting was organized by the Embassy, the Kingdom’s Permanent Mission to the African Union (AU) and the UNECA, on the occasion of the 26th anniversary of His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s accession to the Throne.
The AUC Chair also highlighted Morocco’s entrepreneurial presence in many AU Member States, praising the Kingdom’s economic dynamism, which he said promises a bright future for both Morocco and the African continent as a whole.
He further noted that the wise leadership of His Majesty the King in steering Morocco’s diplomatic, geopolitical, economic, and cultural outreach has made the country an increasingly attractive destination for investors and tourists alike.
The AUC Chairperson also took the opportunity to express his deep gratitude to Morocco for its "multifaceted contribution to the smooth functioning of the African Union."
