The establishment of an Honorary Consulate of Kazakhstan in Marrakech marks a significant milestone in fostering closer ties between Kazakhstan and Morocco. The event witnessed the participation of local executive authorities from Marrakech, members of the Moroccan Parliament, and representatives from various international organizations, government agencies, and national companies. Additionally, business communities from both nations, including chambers of commerce and women's business associations, came together to celebrate this important occasion.
Saulekul Sailaukyzy, a key speaker at the event, underscored the importance of honorary consuls as vital instruments of diplomacy. She articulated that individuals who have been integral to the business and public life of a city are uniquely positioned to translate broad agreements into actionable decisions. Honorary consuls play a crucial role in supporting businesses, assisting tourists, and addressing issues promptly. The choice of Marrakech for this consulate is strategic, as it stands out as Morocco's premier destination for tourism and business. Furthermore, Sailaukyzy highlighted the positive impact of the visa-free regime that was introduced last year, which has significantly increased travel between the citizens of both countries.
The newly appointed Honorary Consul of Kazakhstan in Marrakech, Younes Essassi, expressed his gratitude for the trust bestowed upon him and reaffirmed his commitment to bolstering cooperation between Kazakhstan and Morocco in the realms of trade, investment, and business exchanges. This consulate in Marrakech is the second of its kind in Morocco, following the operational consulate in Casablanca.
In conjunction with the consulate's inauguration, Casablanca recently hosted the inaugural meeting of the Kazakhstan-Morocco Business Council, marking a historic moment in the bilateral relations between the two nations. This was complemented by a series of meetings focused on agriculture, industry, trade, and investment held in Rabat, further emphasizing the commitment to strengthening economic collaboration.
