The meeting was an opportunity for both parties to examine the avenues of collaboration between the Ministry, including institutions and public enterprises under its supervision, and the banking institution and to exchange around the National Desalination Program.
It was also a question of presenting EBRD projects and discussing financing opportunities related to the port sector, in particular the project of development of the free zone of Nador West Med, the project of extension of the RoRo terminal carried by Tangier Med Port Authority and the continuation of cooperation between the National Agency of Ports and the EBRD.
In a statement to MAP TV channel “M24”, Baraka said that this meeting was an opportunity to review the cooperation relations between Morocco and the EBRD in the port and water sectors.
