During the 8th edition of the Morocco Capital Markets Days, held in London's financial district, the United Kingdom reiterated its commitment to strengthening its partnership with Morocco. Through the words of Ben Coleman, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Trade Envoy, the British government described Morocco as a «trusted partner» and emphasized the strategic importance of this bilateral relationship. «The government is fully committed to deepening the relations between our two countries», stated Coleman, applauding the expanding economic cooperation. He recalled that the two kingdoms share over 800 years of history, with the first trade agreement signed in 1721, and stressed the need to build on this heritage to seize future opportunities. Before an audience of diplomats, officials, and finance professionals, the Trade Envoy praised the economic complementarities between the two countries and the prospects offered by events like the Morocco Capital Markets Days. This forum brings together more than 34 listed Moroccan companies and facilitates around 160 B2B meetings with international investors, aiming to strengthen exchanges between the financial markets of the two countries. Coleman also highlighted Morocco's progress, particularly in terms of infrastructure, citing the extension of the high-speed rail line in preparation for the 2030 World Cup. He expressed the UK's desire to participate in this development dynamic while underscoring Morocco's key role as a gateway to West Africa. Organized with the support of the Moroccan embassy in London, this 8th edition is part of the Morocco Business Weeks, aimed at showcasing the Kingdom's economic potential and enhancing bilateral cooperation.
