“The partnership between Morocco and Brazil is no accident. It is the result of a strategic choice. As key players in the Global South, we are committed to making South-South cooperation a powerful economic force that serves our people,” said Alj during the Brazil-Morocco LIDE Forum, a high-level business gathering that brought together over a hundred business leaders and institutional representatives from both countries.
This major forum, he added, is not only an opportunity to celebrate the long-standing ties between Morocco and Brazil, but also a chance to move forward toward “a strategic partnership for the future.” Alj emphasized that the prospects for strengthening bilateral economic relations are more promising than ever.
With more than 50 free trade agreements, Morocco offers access to African, European, American, and Middle Eastern markets, reaching over 2.4 billion consumers. Alj highlighted Brazil’s position as a major global economy, noting that the two nations represent “strategic gateways” to high-potential markets. Together, he said, they can “help shape a new corridor of cooperation between Latin America and Africa, one focused on trade, investment, and innovation.”
“At CGEM, we are committed to advancing this cause through the Morocco-Brazil Business Council, and we will work to turn today’s discussions into long-term results,” he concluded.
Echoing this message, Mohamed Aujjar, President of LIDE Morocco, underscored the untapped potential of Morocco-Brazil cooperation and reaffirmed the commitment of both countries’ business communities to expanding their commercial ties.
“Thanks to the structural reforms carried out under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco is increasingly asserting itself as a regional hub for foreign investment,” said Aujjar. He noted that this event gives economic operators from both nations an opportunity to explore new paths for building strong, lasting, and mutually beneficial partnerships.
Organized by the Business Leaders Group (LIDE), the forum was attended by former Brazilian president Michel Temer, along with ministers, diplomats, and economic stakeholders. It aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation and open new business avenues between Morocco and Brazil.
The agenda included panels on a wide range of topics, such as agribusiness, energy transition, trade, tourism, technology, and services.
