At the operational level, both parties agreed to boost cooperation in promising sectors such as agriculture, renewable energy, scientific research, sustainable tourism and environmental protection. They also expressed their intention to stimulate investment and strengthen economic exchanges through improved coordination between institutional stakeholders.
Finally, the meeting laid the groundwork for regular political dialogue, with the upcoming holding of a first session of bilateral consultations. This initiative reflects the shared commitment to anchoring this partnership over the long term, in the service of ambitious, balanced and forward-looking cooperation.
