A high-level Moroccan business delegation is heading to Mexico from September 22 to 25, as part of an ambitious effort to deepen economic cooperation between the two countries. Led by Chakib Alj, president of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM), the group aims to unlock new trade and investment opportunities while laying the groundwork for long-term strategic partnerships.
The visit, organized in close coordination with Morocco’s embassy in Mexico City, features a packed agenda of institutional and economic meetings. The delegation will sit down with major players including Mexico’s Confederation of Industrial Chambers (CONCAMIN), the Business Coordinating Council (CCE), and key figures in the Mexican government. Beyond the official talks, direct meetings with private sector leaders are also scheduled, along with site visits to major industrial hubs such as Puebla and Guadalajara.
According to Chakib Alj, Morocco and Mexico share several overlapping interests, particularly in sectors like manufacturing, agribusiness, tourism, renewable energy, and technology. He emphasized that the two economies are not only complementary, but also positioned to create strong synergies that could fuel joint growth.
Alj also pointed to Morocco’s rising stature across strategic industries on the African continent. The country has become Africa’s top automobile producer, a major player in aerospace and pharmaceuticals, and the leading textile exporter to Europe. These gains, he noted, are the result of a stable macroeconomic environment, prime geographic location, world-class infrastructure, and forward-looking public policies—including Morocco’s new Investment Charter and the Mohammed VI Investment Fund.
With this momentum, Morocco is positioning itself as a gateway for Mexican companies looking to expand into African and European markets. At the same time, Mexico offers Moroccan businesses a vital entry point into Latin America, making the bilateral relationship increasingly valuable from both sides of the Atlantic.
