While this day has become a deeply rooted tradition in all African countries as a symbol of the continent's struggle for liberation, development and economic progress, it is being celebrated this year in a context of global upheaval caused by the coronavirus global pandemic, ASMEX said.
This health crisis has brought with it an unprecedented economic downturn whose contours may reshape the current global economic powers, underlined the same source, stating that the African continent has more than ever all the assets that will enable it to establish itself as a regional economic power.
Indeed, Morocco, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, has been a precursor in the development of its partnership with several brotherly and friendly African countries and is the first investor in West Africa and the second in the African continent.
ASMEX is part of this dynamic and is mobilizing to create spaces for exchange and partnership aimed at developing and strengthening trade and partnership between Moroccan economic operators and their African counterparts.
To this end, it has, in partnership with the Association of Exporters of Côte d'Ivoire "APEXCI", initiated the creation of an African association of foreign trade, which is intended to be a framework to support and guide African economic operators to seize the opportunities available on the continent for harmonious economic development.
