Hungary and Morocco are ideally situated to boost each other’s commercial and investment activities in their own respective regions, Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs said. Morocco is an ideal bridgehead for Hungarian companies into the rest of Africa, Minister Martonyi told a joint news conference with Saad Addin Al-Osmani, his Moroccan counterpart.

The whole of the African continent is an important target area of Hungarian foreign and economic policy, he added. Hungary can play a similar role as far as Morocco’s economy is concerned, with the potential to become the hub of its activities in central Europe, serving as the regional distribution centre of Moroccan products, he emphasised. The formation of bilateral ties is “very important”, and relations in the areas of culture, education and sport are developing in the right direction, the Minister noted.
