KUWAIT CITY, July 31: Moroccan Ambassador to Kuwait Ali Ben Issa has affirmed that the presence of Minister of Social, Childhood and Family Affairs Dr. Amthal Al- Huwailah at the Moroccan Throne Day celebration “is an embodiment of the good and strong relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and the State of Kuwait.” In a press statement during the Moroccan Embassy’s celebration of the 26th anniversary of the accession of King Mohammed VI to the throne, Issa asserted that relations between the two countries are historic, covering all aspects of cooperation and friendship between the brotherly peoples and leaders of the two countries.

He underscored the need for these strong relations “to raise the level of economic, trade and investment cooperation to the level of political relations.” He clarified that there are existing agreements between the two countries and ongoing cooperation, but they need to be activated. He added, “We are working hard in this regard, in coordination with various Kuwaiti institutions.” Talking about tourism, he revealed that the Kingdom of Morocco has achieved very good results in attracting tourists. He said 17.5 million tourists visited Morocco last year, including 23,000 Kuwaiti tourists, compared to the previous number of around 16,000 or 17,000.

He stated that the increase in the number of Kuwait Airways flights to Morocco to four per week is evidence of the high demand for this destination. On investments, he emphasized that Kuwaiti investments in Morocco have existed for a long time and continue to exist. He confirmed that Morocco is keen on renovating its structures to attract more investments, especially from Arab countries and Kuwait in particular. He added, “There are conditions that encourage Kuwaiti investors from the public and private sectors to invest in Morocco, and trade exchange continues to grow. We intend to develop them to a higher level.”
