Enhancing Economic Collaboration between Morocco and Mauritania
On September 18, 2026, discussions aimed at bolstering economic cooperation between Moroccan and Mauritanian business leaders took center stage in Nouakchott. The Moroccan ambassador to Mauritania, Hamid Chabar, engaged in talks with Mohamed Zein El Abidine Ould Cheikh Ahmed, the president of the National Union of Mauritanian Employers (UNPM). This meeting underscored the commitment of both nations to explore effective mechanisms that could foster economic collaboration, expand opportunities, and realize joint projects that serve the mutual interests of their peoples.
During this productive dialogue, the two parties highlighted Mauritania's participation as a guest of honor in the 14th edition of the International Production Technologies Exhibition (SISTEP), which took place in Casablanca from September 9 to 12. This prominent event served as a platform to further enhance the economic and industrial relations between Morocco and Mauritania. Both Chabar and Ould Cheikh Ahmed expressed their satisfaction with the organization of the special "Morocco-Mauritania Day" within the exhibition's framework, where a delegation from the UNPM was present. This initiative aims to invigorate their shared economic and industrial ventures, while also emphasizing the importance of developing industrial, mining, and energy value chains collaboratively.
