Moroccan Minister Delegate to the Head of Government for Investment, Convergence and Evaluation of Public Policies, Karim Zidane, and Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Yoji Muto, signed a Memorandum of Cooperation in Tokyo on Wednesday, aimed to bolster collaboration between the two countries in the field of investment.
The newly signed Memorandum sets the stage for deeper economic relations between both countries, opening fresh opportunities for collaboration and facilitating the exchange of expertise and best practices. The signing of this Memorandum comes as part of the roadshow led by the Moroccan Minister, who is heading a high-level delegation to Japan and the Republic of Korea.
Jointly organized by the Ministry and The Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development (AMDIE), this roadshow aims to strengthen bilateral economic relations and highlight Morocco's advantages as a prime destination for foreign direct investment, particularly in emerging sectors.

Meetings were also organized with Japanese companies operating in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, agribusiness, and renewable energy.
On Thursday, the Moroccan delegation will continue its roadshow in Seoul, where it will showcase Morocco's strengths as an investment destination during a "Morocco Now" conference.
High-level meetings with Korean government officials and sectoral federations are planned to strengthen economic and institutional relations between the two countries. Additionally, meetings with Korean companies in key sectors such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, as well as rail and shipbuilding industries, will be held to explore investment opportunities in Morocco.
