Morocco, the political, religious and economic beating heart of Western Saharan Africa for centuries, has always maintained significant trade with the regions around the Senegal River, the Kingdom of Mali and Ghana.

Mr. Safir called for creativity and innovation to meet the challenges of youth employment, the fight against exclusion, massive urbanization, coastalization, sustainability, energy transition and digital, and the harmonious and equitable development of territories.
