Rabat, Morocco: Morocco and the United Kingdom signed on Tuesday a Strategic Framework for Cooperation on climate action, clean energy and green growth.
Signed by Moroccan foreign minister Nasser Bourita, and the UK Minister of State for the MENA region Lord Ahmad, the agreement aims to facilitate Morocco’s accelerated transition from fossil fuels to clean and affordable energy, Maghreb Arab Press (MAP) reported.
It also aims at the systemic integration of climate action into government and private sector planning and action, as well as spurring the growth of strong, diversified, and sustainable economic sectors that unlock quality jobs, investment, and growth.
The signing of the agreement came on the sidelines of the 4th session of the Morocco-UK Strategic Dialogue, co-chaired by Bourita and Lord Ahmad.
Launched in London on July 5, 2018, the Strategic Dialogue seeks to consolidate the historical ties between the two kingdoms.
