In a statement to the press at the end of his meeting with Minister of Equipment, Transport, Logistics and Water Abdelkader Amara, the French official stressed that "bilateral cooperation in the port field is essential, all the more so because France is investing a lot in this sector".

He also described the cooperation between the National Railways Company (SNCF) and the National Railways Office (ONCF) as a "great success", both in terms of experience sharing and projects of the high-speed train network extension.

Amara noted that this high-level meeting focused on various subjects of bilateral cooperation, including international road transport, rail transport, trade, maritime transport and motorway transport within the framework of public-private partnerships in terms of infrastructure.

This meeting, marked by the participation of senior officials from both countries, was an opportunity to review the various bilateral cooperation actions, particularly with regard to road, rail and maritime transport.

It is part of the 14th France-Morocco high-level meeting held on December 19, 2019 in Paris, intended to give new impetus to the strategic, multidimensional and exceptional partnership relations between the two countries and to intensify the bilateral political dialogue.
