Karim Zidane Invites Japanese Business Federation to Organize an Economic Mission to Morocco

During this high-level meeting, held in the presence of the Moroccan Embassy in Japan, Mr. Zidane also called for closer ties between the Japanese business community and Morocco’s General Confederation of Enterprises (CGEM), with the goal of establishing a lasting partnership between the private sectors of both countries, according to a statement from the Ministry of Investment, Convergence, and the Evaluation of Public Policies.

On this occasion, the Minister recalled that the Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development (AMDIE) remains fully committed to supporting Japanese companies wishing to set up operations in Morocco.

This initiative is part of Morocco’s ongoing efforts to diversify its international economic partnerships, in line with the Vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, which positions the Kingdom as a competitive, sustainable, and globally open regional platform, the ministry added.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of an economic roadshow co-organized by TMSA, Sumitomo Corporation, JETRO, AMDIE, and partner banks MUFG Bank and Mizuho Bank, reflecting the shared ambition to deepen economic cooperation between Morocco and Japan.

With nearly 75 Japanese companies operating in Morocco and around 66,000 jobs created, Japan stands as one of the Kingdom’s most engaged economic partners, particularly in high value-added sectors such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and energy.

The Keidanren, which brings together over 1,500 major companies and 106 industrial associations, remains a key player in Japan’s economic landscape and a strategic partner for strengthening bilateral economic relations.
