This year already looks promising, as it opens with numerous prospects and tangible momentum in bilateral relations between Switzerland and Morocco. The official visit last October by Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin, accompanied by a large delegation, followed by the signing in December of a memorandum of understanding between Bank Al-Maghrib and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), has thus strengthened the momentum of cooperation between the two countries.
In the same vein, December also saw the annual meeting of the Swiss Import Promotion Programme (SIPPO) Morocco, a SECO initiative, to boost the development of trade between Morocco and Switzerland by facilitating and promoting exports to Switzerland and the European Union in particular.
In addition, in this issue we continue our series of express interviews, this time with Mr Mehmet Yildirimli, Senior Consultant Africa, Türkiye & Israel at S-GE, who gives valuable advice to potential investors who want to set up on the African continent.
We wish you happy reading and reiterate our best wishes for this new year.
Christophe de Figueiredo, President of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Morocco
