Vice President Michael Bizwick Usi has hailed the memorandum of understanding between Malawi and Morocco on Agriculture as crucial in opening many avenues of cooperation between Lilongwe and Rabat.
Usi said this yesterday when he met Dr. Mohamed Sadiki, Minister of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development, and Water and Forests on the sidelines of the African Consultation meeting ahead of the 3rd UN Ocean Conference in June 2025. The conference has ended.
Malawi and Morocco signed the agreement recently to enable the two countries to cooperate on areas of agricultural development and modernization.
“It is pleasing to note that relations between the two countries continue to grow from strength to strength. We will take opportunity of this visit for our technical team to further discuss with your technical teams on our cooperation,” said the Vice President.
He also lured Morocco for investment opportunities, saying the agriculture sector accounts for 80% of the country’s exports for Moroccan investors to explore.
Taking his turn, Dr. Sadik said Morocco was more than ready to cooperate with Malawi on a number of areas in the agriculture sector.
“Mr. Vice President, there are a lot of areas that Malawi and Morocco can work together. These areas include training, capacity building, research, and preservation of natural resources,” he said.
