Economy Minister Orna Barbivai is slated to visit Morocco next week, her office says.
She is expected to depart on Sunday — along with her husband, a native of Morocco — for the first economic working visit to the country since the two nations resumed diplomatic ties.
Barbivai is slated to sign an economic-commercial cooperation agreement as well as meet with ministers, senior government officials and senior members of the business community.
“Morocco is very important for Israel diplomatically, economically and culturally,” says Barbivai. “I am going there to lay the necessary economic infrastructure for productive bilateral trade.”
