Speaking at the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) review of Russia’s trade policy, the diplomat said the two countries have managed to broaden their bilateral cooperation which is no longer limited to agricultural products, hydrocarbons and fisheries.
He recalled in this regard the official visit of HM King Mohammed VI to Russia this year that gives new impetus to Moroccan-Russian relations as part of a comprehensive strategic partnership.
On the sidelines of the visit, he said, the operators of the two countries launched the Economic Council.
Concerning the fisheries sector, Morocco signed with Russia a new four-year agreement, the sixth of its kind since 1992, in an effort to give a boost to the bilateral cooperation in this promising sector.
Aujjar also recalled the signing in October 2002 of the Declaration on strategic partnership including the sectors of trade, information technology and marine fisheries, on the occasion of the official visit of HM King to this country.
