Kazakhstan and Morocco strengthen economic ties as strategic partners
The Government of Kazakhstan seeks to import high-quality Moroccan goods directly, cutting out intermediaries to secure premium products from the North African nation.
During a high-level meeting in Rabat, Kazakhstan’s Deputy Foreign Minister Alibek Kuantyrov emphasized that his country views the Kingdom of Morocco as a key strategic partner, with significant potential for expanding bilateral trade and investment.
Addressing the press alongside Ryad Mezzour, Morocco’s Minister of Industry and Trade, Kuantyrov revealed that Kazakhstan aims to import Moroccan products directly—eliminating middlemen—to access premium goods from the North African nation.
In addition to Moroccan imports, Kazakhstan also seeks to boost its exports of wheat, finished goods, and other commodities to Morocco. Both nations share strong political alignment on global issues and mutual support in international forums, Kuantyrov noted.
Morocco’s Minister of Industry and Trade, Ryad Mezzour, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the shared commitment to deepening economic relations between the two countries.
He pointed out that Kazakhstan possesses valuable resources Morocco requires, including natural gas, cereals, and meat products. These resources, Mezzour explained, could enhance Morocco’s food supply chain, stabilize prices, and ease financial burdens on consumers.
The two ministers concluded by reaffirming their dedication to fostering a sustainable and direct commercial partnership. Their goal is to strengthen bilateral trade, ensure reliable supply chains, and encourage investment flows between Kazakhstan and Morocco.
