The Moroccan diplomat also highlighted Morocco’s willingness to set itself up as a digital destination internationally, noting that the kingdom is working to create a global digital dynamic for an efficient public administration, an innovation-oriented economy and an inclusive knowledge society based on digital.

In the context of the technological revolution and the networked society, Medrek invited the Swedish giant to capitalize on the achievements of the partnership with Morocco for the development of new areas of cooperation, especially in the fields of education and training, green and digital transition and health.
