Economy and Industry Minister Orna Barbivai announces that Israel will open a trade mission in Morocco next year.
Speaking at an economic conference focused on ties between the nations, Barbivai says the potential for economic cooperation is “tremendous.”
The move comes amid increasingly strong ties between the countries since signing a normalization agreement two years ago.
However, the progress has been marred in recent days by the recall of Israel’s envoy to Rabat amid accusations of sexual and financial improprieties.
