New York has hosted on Friday the Morocco-US investment summit. The event featured several sectoral panels that discussed investment opportunities in Morocco, with focus on the Kingdom’s southern provinces, especially in the financial and infrastructure sectors. The investment meeting, organized by the Regional Council of Dakhla Oued Eddahab in partnership with the Moroccan Ministry of Industry and Trade, comes four months after the Morocco-US Investment Forum held in Dakhla last March. The Council representatives also highlighted the region’s security and stability, insisting on the safe and free movement of people and products from the Moroccan southern provinces to Sub-Saharan Africa. During the Morocco-US Investment Forum held in Dakhla in March, both participants and organizers agreed on the need to enhance investment and trade in the region while boosting bilateral collaboration and encouraging new US direct investment in agriculture, tourism, mining, and renewable energy.
