"It is in our interest to take significant steps forward in parliamentary diplomacy between the two countries. We think that there is also an interest on the Angolan side in cooperating in this field", said the Moroccan diplomat, in a statement made available to VerAngola.
It should be recalled that, within the scope of bilateral cooperation, Angola and Morocco signed, in October 1988, the General Agreement on Economic, Scientific, Technical and Cultural Cooperation, which allowed the holding of the first Session of the Angolan-Moroccan Joint Bilateral Commission, in Rabat, in October 1989. The second meeting of the Joint Bilateral Commission between the two countries took place in November 2013, in Luanda.
The two countries cooperate in the areas of education, agriculture, trade, among others.
