Government of Ghana has signed 27 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with the Kingdom of Morocco.
This was in collaboration with the country’s vibrant private sector which signed 22 out of the 27 MoUs with the North African country —with government directly signing five of those.
The MoUs, which were signed on Friday, February 17, 2017 at the Flagstaff House—the seat of government—was witnessed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his Moroccan counterpart, King Mohammed VI .
They are aimed at boosting bilateral trade between the two countries.

Speaking on behalf of the Moroccan delegation, the President of Morocco’s CGEM, Miriem Bensalah-Chaqroun, said her country was delighted to partner with Ghana, assuring that they would make their economic and industrial models available to Ghanaian companies to adopt, ensuring efficient and rapid development in all the sectors that were covered in the MoUs that had been signed.
