Speaking at the 4th edition of Industry Meeting Days Morocco, organized by Industrie du Maroc Magazine, Sekkouri highlighted industrial stakeholders' efforts, who joined the state's vision, despite COVID-19-related difficulties, and helped maintain social peace in the country, through the preservation of jobs.

"Industrial sovereignty is a topical issue and a desire of the State expressed by HM King Mohammed VI, which aims to protect the country according to a productive, efficient and profitable model," he noted, emphasizing the importance of complementarity between public policies to ensure social peace.

"The structural transformation of the Moroccan economy can not be done without an intelligent industrialization and integration into global value chains," he insisted, adding "we are thinking about what to do at the level of the Labour Code to encourage investment.

Addressing the issue of social peace, the Minister said that the government will, in a few weeks, reach a major agreement with the union, serving human resources and national competitiveness, stressing the importance of encouraging investment.

"We are called to propose appropriate frameworks for all forms and sizes of investment and support much more relevant in terms of human resources," he noted, adding that "we will reform the special training contracts (CSF), to benefit companies training tailored to their needs."

This event aims to mobilize public authorities, as well as territorial, industrial and social stakeholders and decision-makers in a forum for consultation to draw the contours of an adequate and effective declination of new national priorities of the industrial sector.
