Based on this principle, the Spanish official said, the Madrid Chamber of Commerce "strongly supports" this type of event as a way to promote mutual knowledge and get to know more closely the investment opportunities offered by the region.
"Morocco is a regional economic power with a modern and diversified economy, and its strategic geographical location gives it access to a market of 2,500 million people," said the vice president of the Madrid Chamber of Commerce.
He continued: "Morocco's position as a gateway to Africa and a logistical and financial center for the sub-Saharan market makes it a strategic country," he said, noting that trade between Morocco and Spain reached a record high of 12 billion euros in 2023.
