Morocco is diversifying its European partners and moving towards Eastern Europe to work with new mining collaborators, on top of them the Czech Republic which proved to be a pertinent choice.
The visit by the Czech Republic’s delegation of mining experts to the Kingdom of Morocco, on Mar. 12, is very significant as it opens new prospects for a win-win partnership and economic growth in both countries.
