Pakistan and Morocco have many cultural, social and religious similarities and the two countries need to boost relations in trade, tourism, culture, and education.
These views were expressed during a meeting held between Ambassador of Morocco Mohammed Karmoune and Editor-in-Chief of Pakistan Observer, Faisal Zahid Malik who called on the ambassador as part of his efforts to boost Pakistan’s relations with brotherly countries.
During the meeting, Editor-in-Chief Faisal Zahid Malik emphasized the importance of fostering cultural and educational exchanges between Pakistan and Morocco.
This could include initiatives such as student exchange programmes, cultural exhibitions, and joint academic research projects. Both the Pakistani government and its Moroccan counterpart could launch collaboration between universities and cultural institutions in both countries to promote a deeper understanding of each other’s heritage and traditions, he said.
Ambassador Mohammed Karmoune while thanking Mr Faisal Zahid Malik agreed the trade and economic ties between the two countries should be further strengthened.
Highlighting the benefits of increased bilateral trade and investment, and proposing the possibility of trade delegations or business forums to explore specific opportunities, Ambassador Karmoune said already much effort is being done in that direction, however, a lot more is required.
Editor-in-Chief of Pakistan Observer, on the occasion drew the ambassador’s attention towards cultural, touristic and historical attractions in both Pakistan and Morocco. He suggested collaborative efforts to promote tourism between the two nations, such as joint marketing campaigns, travel packages, and cultural festivals. They also discussed the potential lying in the free visa regime to encourage greater people-to-people interactions.
Mohammed Karmoune termed Pakistan Observer a leading English newspaper commanding a large readership. Pakistan Observer must be credited for adhering to higher journalistic principles for the cause of free and free media in the country, he said.
