TANGIERS, Morocco, June 7 (MENA) - Moroccan Minister of Industry, Investment, Trade, and Digital Economy Moulay Hafid Elalamy said that King Mohammed VI is keen on promoting relations with Egypt.

In statements to MENA on Friday, Elalamy expressed his interest in establishing joint projects and investments with Egypt in the economic and trade domains.

The minister hailed the two countries' potentials and developed industries and projects, noting that despite their deeply-rooted relationship the level of bilateral economic cooperation is still not up to expectations.

He pointed out that the Conference on Technology, Innovation, and Society (CYFY Africa 2019), that kicked off in Tangiers today, CyFy Africa 2019 brings together ministers, journalists, ethicists, civil society, as well as technology leaders and entrepreneurs to curate Africa-centred conversations around data, innovation, gender, norms and new media. Elaborating, he said that CyFy will be informed by African experiences and contexts — capturing the continent’s success with emerging technologies and charting a course for the region’s digital future.
