Estonia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Urmas Paet, met today in Tallinn Morocco’s Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Latifa Akherbach, who affirmed that Morocco is interested in Estonia’s oil shale industry and technology to process oil shale.
ERR News writes that the two ministers affirmed the good relations between the two states, but pointed out that there’s still a lot of space for development and possibilities for more active cooperation.
According to Urmas Paet, Estonia would be happy to meet business delegations from Morocco to introduce local possibilities to them. “There should be contracts between Estonia and Morocco to protect investments and avoid double-taxing,” said Paet and noted that previous cooperation between the two states in international organisations has gone very smoothly.
Both parties considered the started Mediterranean union to be an important step and hoped that cooperation between the EU and Mediterranean states will be successful.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs also forwarded an invitation to his colleague in Morocco to visit Estonia.
