Amparo López Senovilla: ‘Spanish companies are contributing to Morocco's strategic project’

Amparo López Senovilla spoke to the media, including Atalayar, after the closing of the conference ‘Morocco & Spain: Investing Together for a Sustainable & Shared Future’.

The Secretary of State for Trade highlighted ‘the excellent economic and trade relations between Spain and Morocco’ and recalled that ‘Spanish companies are contributing to Morocco's strategic project, to the development of land infrastructure, infrastructure related to the 2030 World Cup, water treatment, renewable energies, etc.’.

According to López Senovilla, ‘events such as this one underline this commitment, both on the part of Spanish and Moroccan companies to collaborate and strengthen our ties, and also at the institutional level, with the presence of the Moroccan Minister of Investment, Karim Zidane, and my presence as representative of the Spanish Government, to strengthen this collaboration at the institutional level’.

The Secretary of State recalled her visit to Morocco last February, at an event linked to investment opportunities for Spanish companies in relation to the 2030 World Cup, as well as her upcoming visit to the country, ‘to proceed with the signing of a very interesting project to be developed by a Spanish company, Acciona, in collaboration with its Moroccan partners, relating to the desalination plant in Casablanca’.

López Senovilla praised the work carried out by the financing instruments of the State Secretariat for Trade, ‘which have played an essential role in contributing to this project [the Casablanca desalination plant] and others such as the award to the CAF company for the supply of 40 high-speed trains, also for a rail transport project in Morocco’.

‘We are delighted to collaborate with Morocco at the institutional level and, of course, at the business level,’ she concluded.
