“We are working to encourage our investors and business leaders to invest in the Moroccan Sahara, which offers huge potential across multiple sectors,” Mr. Philippeaux told MAP following a meeting with a Moroccan economic delegation on Tuesday in Miami.
As the chief liaison for Miami-Dade County with foreign governments, Mr. Philippeaux noted that Morocco continues to strengthen its position as a “regional hub for international trade and a gateway to the African continent.”
He cited Morocco’s major logistical infrastructure projects, particularly the Tanger Med port complex, “the largest port in Africa and a key player in global maritime transport.”
The Moroccan delegation, which included representatives from the Casablanca-Settat Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services (CCIS-CS), the Regional Investment Center, and several business leaders, held a meeting on Tuesday in Miami with executives from the World Trade Center Miami and the Miami-Dade County International Trade Consortium. The discussions focused on promoting “Made in Morocco” products in the United States.
The meeting, attended by Morocco’s Consul General in Miami, Chafika El Habti, was led by Abdellatif Maâzouz, President of the Casablanca-Settat region. The delegation highlighted the efforts made by the CCIS-CS to support the internationalization of Moroccan brands and boost exports of Moroccan-made products.
