Kazakhstan strengthens ties with Morocco as strategic partner
The Kazakhstan government has expressed its intention to import high-quality Moroccan goods directly, eliminating intermediaries to streamline trade and ensure premium product sourcing from the Kingdom.
The Kazakhstan government views Morocco as a key strategic partner, opening new avenues for expanding bilateral trade and investment, as stated by Alibek Kuantyrov, Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan, during a recent working visit to Rabat.
Speaking to the media following talks with Morocco‘s Minister of Industry and Trade, Ryad Mezzour, Mr. Kuantyrov highlighted his country’s eagerness to import Moroccan goods directly—bypassing intermediaries—to access premium-quality products from the Kingdom.
Kazakhstan also aims to increase its exports of wheat, finished goods, and other commodities to Morocco, he noted, emphasizing a shared political alignment on global issues and mutual diplomatic support.
Morocco‘s Minister of Industry and Trade, Ryad Mezzour, echoed this sentiment, stressing a shared commitment to deepening economic and commercial relations between the two nations.
He pointed out that Kazakhstan possesses resources highly valuable to Morocco, including natural gas, grains, and meat products. These resources, he added, could enhance Morocco‘s food supply chains, support household purchasing power, and reduce household expenses.
Both delegations reaffirmed their dedication to fostering a direct and enduring economic partnership. Their goal is to reinforce bilateral trade, secure stable supply chains, and encourage investments between Kazakhstan and Morocco.
