ECA finds strong cooperation potential in North Africa

Abstract

The Economic Commission for Africa was one of the first international organizations to open offices in Morocco (its sub-regional office has been working since 1963). This meeting was an opportunity for the DES’ interlocutors to express their satisfaction at their good relations with the ECA and their willingness to strengthen them up further. Discussion topics included both the Moroccan and the Sub-regional economic context and various issues these countries are faced with. The meetings also covered topics such as the African CFTA and its potential impact for the sub-region and cooperation between Maghreb countries in areas such as energy, food security and finance.
