The Kazakh government has designated the Kingdom of Morocco as a strategic partner, opening new avenues for deepening bilateral trade and investment ties, declared Alibek Kuantyrov, Kazakhstan’s Deputy Foreign Minister, during a meeting in Rabat.

At a press conference following discussions with Morocco’s Minister of Industry and Trade, Ryad Mezzour, Kuantyrov emphasized that Kazakhstan aims to import Moroccan products directly—bypassing intermediaries—to access high-quality goods from the North African nation.

Kazakhstan also seeks to expand its wheat, finished goods, and other merchandise exports to Morocco, he noted, highlighting a shared political alignment on global issues and mutual diplomatic support.

For his part, Minister Mezzour underscored the joint commitment to strengthening economic relations between the two nations. He pointed out that Kazakhstan possesses key resources Morocco requires, including natural gas, as well as essential food products like cereals and meat.

These resources, Mezzour argued, could bolster Morocco’s food supply chains, ease consumer spending pressures, and enhance purchasing power for its citizens.

The delegations from both countries reaffirmed their dedication to fostering a direct and sustainable economic partnership. Their goal is to secure stable trade flows, strengthen supply security, and stimulate investment between Kazakhstan and Morocco.
