He appreciated engagement of Moroccan Parliament with Pakistan at International parliamentary forums and stressed for synergising the engagement between the friendly countries in Africa.

Speaking about the trade relations, the speaker said that immense economic opportunities were present on both sides, therefore, efforts should be made to enhance bilateral trade and economic cooperation with Morocco.

Ambassador Mohamed Karmoune thanked the speaker for his remarks and said Morocco attached immense importance to its decades old relationship with Pakistan.

He said undoubtedly those relations were based on religion, history and culture. He agreed that it was time to unlock the true potential of our trade relations, stressing for enhancing connectivity of people from both the brotherly countries.
