Rabat - Participants in the Morocco-France Economic Forum, held Friday in Rabat under the theme "Together towards a renewed impetus for economic and social opportunities", called for a new paradigm for Morocco-France economic relations, with "made with Morocco" as the watchword for better complementarity and integration of the two economies. Managing Director of the Mohammed VI Investment Fund, Mohamed Benchaaboun, said that the new paradigm should be based on a solid, long-term relationship that draws on the rich shared history of the two countries, and is fully in line with the ambitions and objectives that Morocco has set itself under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. The former Moroccan ambassador in Paris pointed out that the partnership between Morocco and France is intended to transcend the strict framework of bilateral relations and become part of a perspective linking two continents, with Morocco standing out as a platform and hub between Europe and Africa, adding that Rab at and Paris can "together make this project a reality in the interests of both our countries". For his part, Managing Director of Renault Group Maroc, Mohamed Bachiri, pointed out that Moroccan and French operators need to work together to set up new co-location and industrial integration schemes that combine proximity, security and competitiveness. CEO of Avril Group, Jean-Philippe Puig, called for complementarity between French and Moroccan stakeholders to accelerate the implementation of current initiatives, stressing the need to support farmers and integrate them into the global value chain of agro-industrial players. Chairman of Safran Board of Directors, Ross Mcinnes, said he preferred the notion of "made with", rather than "made in", to promote better complementarity and integration of value chains. It's time to move on to a new chapter, that of "grow with", to grow together, he stressed, highlighting the importance of training, research and development, particularly in the field of supply chains.
