Morocco’s ambassador to Jordan, Muhammad Khaled Al-Nasiri, announced the new on Saturday, in a press conference, saying that the project comes on the occasion of the 23rd anniversary of King Mohammed VI's accession to the Moroccan throne.
Al-Nasiri added that the partnership includes projects in renewable energy, agriculture, and tourism sectors, as well as the exchange of expertise in professional qualification in disciplines related to Tourism, food industry, construction, public works and water resources management.
The envoy stressed Jordan's pivotal role in joint Arab efforts and regional issues, commending Jordan's constant support of Morocco's position on the Western Sahara and its call for the preservation of Morocco's territorial integrity in line with Rabat's autonomy initiative, international references and Security Council resolutions.
He said that the trade volume between Jordan and Morocco stood at about 64 million Jordanian dinars in 2020, noting the more than 115 agreements and memoranda of understanding the two countries have signed in political, economic, health, educational, cultural, media, tourism, energy, minerals, sports, military and social affairs fields.

He also said Morocco allocates 60 scholarships to Jordanian students in the various disciplines and higher education levels.
On regional conflicts, Al-Nasiri noted that Morocco's position on the Palestinian issue is firm and clear as it advocates for finding a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that fulfills the aspiration of the Palestinian people for setting up an independent and viable state on the June 4, 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
