This partnership, as an instrument for enhanced dialogue and cooperation, reflects a « strong convergence for sustainable, inclusive, low-carbon development », said the Minister at a seminar on the theme « A common green horizon: Exploiting the full potential of the EU-Morocco Green Partnership ».
« Morocco stands out as one of the EU’s most dynamic partners, not only because of its close proximity and connectivity with Europe, but also because of the shared challenges and therefore the shared strategic interests of both parties, notably the imperative of energy transition and sustainable development, » she said.
In this sense, the Minister affirmed that regional integration is one of the main pillars of Morocco’s energy strategy. « While the EU was created on the basis of the integration of the coal and steel industries in 1950, we are committed to another Schuman plan that would converge the energy and carbon markets, » she said.
According to the Minister, the Morocco-EU Green Partnership can only be fully optimized by strengthening electricity and gas connections between the two parties, through the implementation of green electron trade projects, as well as the development of trade in green hydrogen, green molecules and other potential markets.
