During this bilateral meeting, held on the sidelines of the 18th summit of the International Transport Forum between May 21 and 23, the two ministers praised the excellence of relations of friendship and cooperation which unite the kingdom of Morocco and the French Republic in several areas and particularly in the transport and logistics sectors.
The two ministers underlined, in this context, the importance of strengthening air links between Morocco and France, as part of the implementation of the “2030 airports” vision, launched by Morocco and which aims to double the capacity of national airports to go from 40 million to 80 million travelers.
The two parties also expressed their desire to strengthen Moroccan-French cooperation within international bodies, with the organization of international civil aviation (OACI) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO), thus stressing the commitment of Rabat and Paris to support each other within the framework of these strategic international bodies.
They also praised the historic Moroccan-French partnership in the field of rail transport, which is currently experiencing a new dynamic following the conventions signed during the visit of the French president Mr. Emmanuel Macron in Morocco, which opened new promising prospects for joint projects in this vital sector.
