This cooperation is part of a shared vision aimed at addressing the increasingly significant impacts of climate change, the Hungarian diplomat emphasized in a statement to the press following his meeting with Morocco’s Minister of Equipment and Water, Nizar Baraka.

“With the acceleration of climate change, our two countries often face extreme situations, swinging between an excess of water that is difficult to manage and a severe shortage compared to needs,” he explained, noting that these challenges can, however, be addressed with appropriate technologies.

At the same time, Szijjártó praised Morocco’s 2030 water management strategy, which focuses on innovative solutions in wastewater purification and recycling, flood protection, and river water pollution control.

“Hungary has some of the best technologies in the world in this field, developed in response to its geographical specifics, including the presence of numerous rivers that cross the country,” he said, adding that these technologies would be made available to Morocco within a win-win cooperation framework.

For his part, Baraka pointed out that this meeting was an opportunity to explore cooperation possibilities with Hungary in the water sector, highlighting that Hungary has advanced technologies in various fields.

“The national strategy focuses on priorities such as desalination, wastewater treatment, flood protection, and combating pollution, particularly in rivers,” the Minister clarified.

In this context, it was agreed to establish collaboration in these areas to benefit from the cutting-edge technologies used by Hungary, while embracing modern innovations, in line with the Royal High Directions regarding water management, he added.

This cooperation could extend to other sectors, including civil engineering, to further strengthen Morocco’s capabilities in these strategic areas, Baraka concluded.
