The Morocco-UK Economic Forum, held in Casablanca on June 3, highlighted a new phase in the economic partnership between the two countries. Mehdi Tazi, president of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises CGEM, emphasized mutual trust and shared ambition for sustainable growth and prosperity. Since the Morocco-UK Association Agreement came into effect in 2019, bilateral trade has consistently grown, now exceeding 4.6 billion pounds sterling annually. This growth is significant as Morocco positions itself as a credible alternative for British manufacturers seeking supply chain diversification. Ben Coleman, the Prime Minister's Trade Envoy for Morocco and West Africa, praised Morocco's "concrete ambition" and the "exceptional" engagement of businesses from both nations.
