RABAT, Jan 21 (NNN-XINHUA) — Agricultural ministers of Morocco and Cote d’Ivoire held talks in Germany’s capital Berlin on strengthening agricultural cooperation between the two countries, Morocco’s official news agency MAP reported.
Speaking after their meeting on the sidelines of the Berlin International Green Week, Moroccan Agricultural Minister Mohammed Sadiki said Morocco and Cote d’Ivoire have many experiences to share in the agriculture sector, noting that the two parties have agreed to exchange views on the water issue.
Morocco, which suffers from repeated droughts, has developed techniques to mobilize and save water through the modernization of irrigation systems, Sadiki told reporters.
