Vienna – A conference tackling the development of a multi-dimensional partnership between Morocco and Austria was held in Vienna on Wednesday, at the initiative of Moroccan Millennium Leaders (MML) and Austria’s Young Professional Network.
A number of elected representatives, economic operators, community actors and academics attended this event, part of the Moroccan civil society’s commitment to promoting the Kingdom’s influence among its European partners.
Erragheb Hormatallah, President of the Dakhla Communal Council, highlighted the economic asset of the Kingdom’s southern provinces, particularly that of the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region.
He also estimated that the prospects for economic cooperation and investment between Morocco and Austria could reach their full potential, underscoring the economic opportunities and assets the Kingdom has to offer.
“Morocco has been undergoing major transformation and economic development for nearly 25 years,” he stressed, recalling that it has adopted a new-generation investment charter, providing investors with a unique opportunity and a reliable business climate.
Highlighting the shared desire of economic players, the government and various stakeholders to be part of this momentum, Hormatallah pointed out that the city of Dakhla is a key hub in various economic fields, such as tourism, renewable energies and aquaculture.
“Thanks to its air connectivity with several European countries, Dakhla is ready to continue hosting investments from all over the world,” he stressed.
Nico Marchetti, member of the Austrian National Council and deputy of the ruling ÖVP party, underlined the outstanding dynamics of relations between Morocco and Austria.
“We are not only improving the political aspect of our relations, but also working to strengthen the cultural and economic ties between both countries,” said Marchetti, who hailed the Kingdom’s pioneering experience in the field of wind energy.
He indicated that these efforts are likely to create a framework conducive to even stronger collaboration between the two countries, emphasizing the importance of fostering closer ties between young leaders from both sides, with the aim of sharing ideas to build the future of both nations.
